Clients Love Our Service

HomeWork Solutions has been our go-to for doing taxes since we first hired a nanny for our three children almost 18 years ago. They are friendly, helpful, good at explaining our obligations and the numbers, and have always been prompt with their work. They continuity has been incredible as well – in the 18 years that we have used them, the primary contact on my account has only changed once. Though we have not had a nanny for several years, we have continued with HomeWork Solutions to help with taxes for a housekeeper who helps us on a part time basis. They make it so easy – I highly recommend HomeWork Solutions if you have any household employees.

Gretchen C.

HomeWork Solutions consistently provides excellent service. Everyone I’ve spoken to has always been able to clearly and simply explain employee tax and payroll information in layperson terms. They’re patient, prompt, and professional. In particular, if you have the opportunity to work with Em, Nathan, or Jared…do so. All three of these employees helped me navigate situations that felt complex and anxiety-inducing. Well worth the money – everything you want from a payroll company!

Olivia K.

I was referred to Home Work Solutions by a family tax accountant when I took over bill paying and managing my aging parent’s affairs. HWS has been so incredibly helpful to me. I am grateful for the support and knowledge they have provided me regarding payroll for round the clock caregivers. This has been an overwhelming job for me and HWS has guided me through the payroll process every step of the way which has truly made it possible for my mother to remain at home. They are always there to answer any questions I have. I highly recommend their services. I give them a five star rating!

Amelia

I have been using HomeWork solutions for two years since employing a caregiver for my wife. They have always provided me with excellent support and I’ve never had to wait for someone to answer the phone when I call them. Their client portal works quite well and the relief factor that I’ve experienced, not worrying about filing the appropriate tax documents is beyond words. They are a great service to work with!

Marvin P.

I’ve used Homework Solutions for three years, and have found them responsive, reliable, and easy to work with. I recently had to adjust salary for our nanny, and I was able to accomplish it in about 60 seconds, and then received a prompt email follow up from a live person double-checking that everything was correct.

Matt R.

I have had nothing but wonderful customer service with Home Work Solutions. Everyone I’ve spoken to has listened carefully, been polite, respectful and curious. I am impressed by always receiving a follow up phone call to ensure the issues has been properly resolved.

Myrna H.

I’ve been using HomeWork Solutions for many years now and was originally referred to them by the nanny agency Trusting Connections. I have had only positive and professional experiences with them. Their website is easy to use and when I’ve called for help I’ve reached a real person easily without any frustrating phone trees. Plus their documentation is very clear, it’s nice to be able to give my nanny a weekly paystub, and great for tax season. I would recommend them and am grateful to not have the stress of keeping track or performing these calculations myself.

Marilyn L.

I am a nearly 20-year client of HomeWork Solutions and they are amazing! I have recommended them to every working parent I know as the best way to manage payroll for home employees. They have a great website, provide all tax documents annually, never falter on payroll dates, and actually answer the phone if you call them! So much peace of mind for a very nominal charge by HWS — the best in the business!

Sheila G.

Homework Solutions has always been very responsive with me, and gave me the best advice they could. I also really appreciate that their employee stay a long time with them, I have had the same contact person for 7 years it’s super nice!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what taxes I’m required to pay and how do I manage those accounts?

HomeWork Solutions will handle the entire setup and ongoing management of your tax for accounts for you, as long as employment eligibility verification, or form I-9, and the worker’s W-4 are completed to government standards. Give us a call or enroll online to begin the process – we will handle the rest from A to Z.

Do you handle health insurance for employees?

Similar to our Workers' Compensation Insurance policy, we work with an insurance partner that can help.

How do I know if I’m paying my employee correctly? Is overtime required?

HomeWork Solutions offers free HR Consultations to ensure that you understand all of your employment obligations. These are important to understand when negotiating employment terms.

Do you work in my state?

Yes! We support clients in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We manage all Federal, State and Local Tax requirements. Certain states may require Complete Payroll service level to remain compliant.

How do you pay my employee?

Premier Household and Complete Payroll offer direct deposit, live check mailed to the employee, or a direct payment from the employer. Essential Tax only supports direct payment from employers.

How long does it take to setup my account?

Set up time generally requires 5-7 days from the time we receive completed employer information.

Does my employee need an SSN? ITIN?

It is always better to provide a Social Security Number as this will work every time when filing taxes. ITIN’s are acceptable most of the time, but certain situations may still require an SSN.

Do you handle state taxes?

Yes! We handle your Federal, State, and Local (if applicable) taxes.

How do I fund the payroll?

HWS will direct debit (via ACH) your bank account for all financial transactions, including payroll, taxes and fees for service.

How do I report hours? What if something changes?

Many clients set their payroll to process automatically without lifting a finger each pay period. If your employee’s hours will vary, you can report hours through our simple online portal or our new iOS or Android mobile app (coming soon). Essential Payroll clients will report total payments each quarter at one time online.

Can I change services during the year?

Yes, you are welcome to change your payroll tax service level during calendar quarter transitions.

What if I have already paid my employee?

We can help with back taxes by going back to prior quarters. Additional fees apply.

Do you handle Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

We work with an insurance partner that can help. For Premier Household clients, we will offer an unbiased assessment of your needs and ensure that you get the right coverage at the most effective cost. Unlike other payroll firms, we put your interests first – not making money off your protection, but prioritizing safeguarding your family with a tailored approach.

What customer support does HomeWork Solutions provide?

HomeWork Solutions offers dedicated USA-based customer support through phone, email, and our online portal. Our specialists are available to assist you with any payroll or tax-related questions and ensure your experience is smooth and hassle-free.

Will you file my employee’s tax return?

No, we don’t handle employee’s personal tax returns, but we will prepare a W2 for each employee so that they may file their taxes accordingly. Non-US Taxpayers can elect to have HWS file a standalone Schedule H if appropriate.

The chart up there says “price for single employee” what does that mean?

There is an additional fee per employee of $69 each quarter that you pay more than 1 worker. For example, if you pay 3 employees total, there will be an additional $138 fee that quarter (1st employee is included in base pricing listed above). Give us a call for a customized quote.
