If you have a household employee in 2010, you may need to pay state and federal household employment taxes for 2010. You generally must add your federal employment taxes to the income tax that you report on your 2010 federal income tax return. .... Workers who are not your employees. If only the worker can control how the work is done, the worker is not your employee but is self-employed. A self-employed worker usually provides his or her own tools and offers We respond to many letters by telephone. Therefore, it services to the general public in an independent business." As you can see, having an independent contractor do work for you does not trigger all you say. Do you have to report to the IRS anything at all when you have a plumber work on you home? No. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>
