¿Responsable del cuidado de un miembro de la familia? Entienda las reglas tributarias especiales

Los miembros de familia que reciben pago por el cuidado de un ser querido tal vez tengan responsabilidades tributarias. Esto depende de si la persona responsable se considera un empleado o si provee sus servicios como parte de su propio negocio. 

Revisemos las reglas especiales para el cuidador de un miembro de la familia (en inglés)

Cuando un cuidador se considera un empleado

Un cuidador es alguien que ofrece servicios desde su casa para personas de edad avanzada y discapacitadas. Generalmente, el cuidador se considera un empleado y la persona bajo su cuidado es el empleador. Esto lo puede hacer responsable de impuestos sobre la nómina. Sin embargo, existen algunos casos cuando el empleador tal vez no deba impuestos sobre la nómina. Algunos ejemplos incluyen cuando el cuidador es: 

  • Su conyugue 
  • Su hijo menor de 21 años 
  • Su padre o madre, a menos que se aplique una excepción 
  • Un empleado menor de 18 años durante cualquier parte del año, a menos que se aplique una excepción 

Es importante saber que aun cuando no deba impuestos sobe la nómina, todavía tienen que informar la compensación del cuidador en el Formulario W-2. Consulte la Tabla 1, “Necesita pagar impuestos sobre la nómina” en la página 5 de la Publicación 926, Guía tributaria para empleadores de empleados domésticos (en inglés) para más información. 

Cuando un cuidador no se considera un empleado 

A veces, los cuidadores no se consideran empleados, pero todavía tienen que informar su compensación como ingreso en su Formulario 1040 o 1040-SR. Puede ser que también tengan que pagar impuesto sobre el trabajo por cuenta propia dependiendo de los hechos y circunstancias. 

Aquí hay algunos ejemplos de cuando un cuidador de un miembro de familia típicamente no adeudaría impuesto sobre trabajo por cuenta propia:

  • Si un cuidador de un miembro de familia se le paga a través de una compañía de seguro para el cuidado de su conyugue. Sin embargo, el contribuyente todavía tendría que informar este ingreso. 
  • Si el cuidador de un miembro de familia recibe ingresos de una agencia estatal para el cuidado de sus nietos para que su hija pueda trabajar. Igualmente, el contribuyente todavía tendría que informar cualquier ingreso.

¿Cuándo puede aplicar el impuesto sobre trabajo por cuenta propia? 

Si el cuidador está involucrado en un comercio o negocio que ofrezca servicios de cuidado, tienen que pagar impuestos sobre trabajo por cuenta propia. Por ejemplo:

  • Un cuidador recibe ingresos de una agencia estatal para el cuidado de su abuela y es propietario único de un negocio de guardería para adultos con varios clientes, incluyendo a su abuela, desde su hogar. El contribuyente debería impuestos sobre trabajo por cuenta propia ya que el contribuyente está involucrado en un comercio o negocio que ofrece servicios de cuidado como un propietario único de una guardería para adultos. El contribuyente debe informar el monto completo de su paga como ingreso tanto en el Anexo C como en el Anexo SE
