Household employees - how to report?

[Catherine]

Hi folks --

This is a new one for me.

I have a new client who hired household help (nanny). Went through an agency that did the W-2's and filed the Sch H. they gave me copies of all the papers provided by the agency.

How do I report this in ATX? The jump-to bunny is tossing me to Form 2441 and then to care providers name -- that will duplicate the W-2 information. is this appropriate? Any thing else I should be on the lookout for?

Thanks, and Happy Daylight Savings Time.

Where else is the W-2 being reported (and deducted) besides the 2441?

No where else.

I just wanted to be sure that I was doing this right; duplicate the W-2 info on the 2441, then put the withheld taxes and employer paid taxes from the Sch H on line sixty-whatever-it-is on the 1040.

Sounds right to me. It is line 60.
