Our nanny payroll software is for more than just nannies. We can help you take care of payroll and forms filing for virtually any type of household worker. You might like to think of your nanny as an independent contractor, but the IRS considers most household workers to be employees.
As a matter of fact, we have heard from some homeowners who prefer to use commercial nanny businesses for:
- The extra measure of accountability
- Not needing to navigate all of the paperwork
There may not be any way to get around the extra filing requirements, but there is an easy way to take care of even the complex and larger filing needs of small business household services. Discover incredible the software platform, modular products, and dependable support services from Advanced Micro Solutions.
What are Nanny Payroll Software Solutions?
Take into account the specialized considerations that go along with a nanny service. Many small business owners develop a comprehensive payroll solution that fits their nanny business. Our software module interaction allows you to build this type of comprehensive solution, right down to printing your own MICR checks.
To this point, the most essential filing form, 1040 Schedule H, is available from our modules:
For these same reasons, our software solutions are great for small businesses. However, individual households who hire private nannies can also find intuitive, streamlined tools.
Whether you simply need a little extra support for your data management or your quarterly and end-of-year filing requirements, or you are looking to implement comprehensive nanny payroll software, our software can provide powerful, customized, and affordable solutions.
