What is Form 942?
Formerly known as the “Employers Quarterly Tax Report for Household Workers,” Form 942 was used by employers in the United States to pay Social Security, Medicare, and federal unemployment tax for household workers, including nannies and housekeepers.
Form 942 is no longer in use. The IRS discontinued this form, and now employers who employ household employees report these taxes by filing Schedule H (Household Employee Taxes) with their annual federal income tax returns (Forms 1040, 1040sr, or Form 1040nr).
If you have household workers, Schedule H must be used. You will need to enter the wages paid and employment taxes owed. You should also take into account state employment taxes, which vary from state to state.
