Before you hire: what to ask

  • What hours and days, and for how many months?
  • Will you be paid as a household employee, and who handles the taxes?
  • Do you drive the children, and in whose car?
  • What references can you give from families you worked for?

The rule in Utah. A nanny paid above the IRS household-employee threshold in a year is a household employee, and the family takes on tax duties. Our nannies guide covers the rule.

What to know in Utah Valley

  • IRS Publication 926: paying a household employee $3,000 or more in cash wages in 2026 brings Social Security and Medicare taxes.
