Employers of household workers must account for the compensation and tax filing requirements of their employees. Although not immediately apparent, those who run residential businesses or employ household employees have separate end-of-year tax forms from other industries.
This is true of the CT W3. Rather than filling out the general form, household employers must fill out the CT W3 HHE — the Connecticut Annual Reconciliation of Withholding for Household Employers. The form requires:
- Total Connecticut wages reported during the calendar year
- W2s for each employee
If you need support for Connecticut tax and wage reporting, Advanced Micro Solutions has the answer. Our software delivers customized, state-specific solutions that you need to streamline your payroll duties, regardless of your business’s industry. Our range of products are designed to target common reporting problems. Our software is also equipped with Connecticut-specific form support that you may need.
Need support specifically for the CT W3 HHE? We can help you out. You can view CT W3 HHE in its entirety online. You can also view the concomitant CT 941 HHE.
