Nanny taxes can be confusing, both for the employee and the employer. Software used to process returns for both individuals should have several components to ensure that these taxes are properly calculated. Nanny wages impact the employer's taxes and should be reported on a Schedule H form. The nanny's W-2 form must also be included with the employer's filing. Software should be able to handle FUTA wages and reconcile Social Security and Medicare differences.

Most states no longer penalize Social Security recipients with unemployment offsets, but five states -- Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia -- currently reduce weekly unemployment benefits by 50% of your prorated monthly Social Security check. South Dakota and Virginia have repealed their offset laws, but still have a provision allowing them to deduct Social Security benefits from unemployment checks when state unemployment funds fall below a pre-determined threshold. The long recession and high unemployment rate triggered the offset in both states.
Instruction on how to do so are on the Statement. Understand, SS earnings are defined very differently than income taxable, or state taxable, or FUTA, or other forms of income.
You could, but you don't have to.
FUTA. Federal unemployment tax assistance insurance for a limited amount and period of time.
