Question: How can I file taxes for 2009 when I work under the table as a babysitter?
I lost my job at a cafe in December of 2008. At the time there was a hiring freeze and I was unable to find regular employment. I started babysitting for a woman I know and gradually started babysitting for her friends, and their friends. It’s been such a successful and enjoyable way for me to make ends meet that six months later I have not even bothered trying to find another job.
The BIG problem is all of my earnings are under the table. How do I go about paying taxes when I have multiple clients and unsteady hours? If I try to pay taxes then don’t they also have to pay taxes? I’m not sure I would be able to keep my job if I did that.
I love all the kids I get to work with and I would like to keep working as a babysitter for hire but I don’t want to create any problems for myself when it’s time to file taxes and send in my fafsa.
What’s the best thing for me to do in this situation and what are my options?
Answer: In April, you simply report all your accumulated income (you should keep very close records), and pay the appropriate tax as calculated.
There is no negative impact on your customers, since they are not your employers, but your contract customers.
