About this listen

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • The critical difference between the $2,700 annual FICA threshold and the $1,000 quarterly FUTA threshold for household employees. • That all household employment taxes (FICA and FUTA) are reported on Schedule H, which is filed with the employer's Form 1040. • Why a household employee must receive a Form W-2 and never a Form 1099-NEC, a common point of confusion on the exam. • That withholding federal income tax is optional and requires an agreement between the employer and employee via Form W-4. • How to apply the control test to determine if a worker is an employee, triggering Schedule H, or an independent contractor.
