Recommend your nanny tax service

If you use a service to handle all the payroll/tax prep, who do you use? If you do it yourself, how hard is it? Our nanny starts in less than 2 weeks and I'm trying to navigate all the paperwork needed to withhold taxes and such. It's a bit overwhelming. There are a lot of companies out there that will do it for you. Just looking for recommendations if you like yours.

    We use breedlove. They are pricey, but handle everything. I was overwhelmed by all the paperwork. It seems doable if you have the time for it. I'm just too stressed out with work to deal with one more thing. Breedlove has been great.

    @wife07mom09‌, reading through everything on the IRS website, it seems more complex than you describe with new hire and EIN paperwork filing, quarterly state and federal income filings and then the annual filing and W-2. I'm sure it's all stuff I can figure out but I'm worried about overlooking something, missing a deadline, or just doing it wrong in general. We're talking to our CPA but I know this is not his area of expertise.

    I use intuit online payroll service.  it is less than $20 a month, and got the first 6 months at half that.  It was a pain to setup, but they guide you through the process.  You have to file for both a federal and state ID numbers, then setup the different rates.  Now, I can do weekly payroll from my phone in under 1 min.  And it gets direct deposited to our nanny's account.  Great for traveling, since I'm the one who handles the pay and am not always home on payday.

    We withhold state and federal income taxes, social security, medicare and state unemployment.  state income tax and unemployment are paid quarterly, intuit calculates our payment and i just login to our state website and pay each quarter.  Federal taxes we pay yearly as part of our yearly income tax - always makes our tax bill huge, but we know to expect it.  Intuit also completes w-2 for our nanny each year.
