Often, household management software is thought of simply as a personal finance system that tracks your household budget, and you can certainly find these types of software products out there, but there’s another type of bookkeeping software for people who employ household worker. Whether they be nannies, maids, butlers, chefs, or gardeners, pretty much any household service professional that you hire as an employee will create a certain number of form filing requirements. And that’s where Advanced Micro Solutions (AMS) comes in. Our W-2, 1099, payroll, and Schedule H Form 1040 software solutions can take the daunting task of employer-based form filing and withholding responsibilities.
What is Household Management Software for Household Employees?
This type of household bookkeeping software is going to be a lot more complicated than your typical budget-cruncher and bill pay assist. To prepare your W-2 and 1099 forms, to prepare your Schedule H Form 1040, to calculate payroll taxes and income tax withholdings, to print your blank filing forms and MICR paychecks, and to e-file directly with the IRS, SSA, and state agencies, you need pay-for software. Otherwise, you’re bound to run into free software that’s not worth the trouble, and possibly an outright scam.
Here’s the good news: AMS offers low-cost, modular software options. This means you can choose a personalized level of support for your household management software. More specifically, if you have only one or two household employees and you have an account for paychecks and you don’t mind calculating your own payroll taxes, then you might think about forgoing our AMS Payroll module. You can still get the support you need for Schedule H Form 1040 and state-based unemployment forms with our Forms Filer Plus module.
