Yes exactly. Thank you. Generally people should just assume that others with lived experience are not total idiots about it. One way to fix it is simply to let families use their SSN as the EIN for the employee, and remove that from your adjusted gross income.

So you think hiring a nanny should have special tax benefits vs e.g. paying a daycare? You realize daycares also pay the same payroll tax, should daycare patrons be able to deduct the daycare's taxes too?

  No this is just my own example. I’m sure you have some too, and it’s why the ideas in the article are powerful.

  Also, everyone pays the daycare with post-tax dollars, caveat the spending account deduction, the same way they'd pay the nanny. The nanny is a red herring.
