Household Employee W2 Filing - Multi-State Question
I am a household employer for a nanny. I am trying to file my employee's w2 for 2025. I have a FEIN, but I lived in 3 states in 2025 where I paid my nanny. I only have a state ID number for 1 state. I paid state UI taxes in all the states for the portion of the year my nanny worked in those states. I did not withhold federal taxes for my employee and am reporting it on my schedule H. What should I put in Box 15 for the states where I do not have a state ID number for my employees w2?
Quick Answer:
For Box 15 of your employee's W-2, you must enter your state employer identification number for each state where you paid wages and state unemployment insurance (UI) taxes.
