Your Social Security Did you pay your maid $50 or more in three months? If so, you are required to report the wages for social security pur poses, Howell Spiller, Social Security Representative for Newberry county stated recent ly. Mr. Spiller pointed out that in addition to their duties in the home, many women now have a full or part-time job. Often they have a maid or other household worker to help them. The housewife then be comes an employer and it is her responsibility to make a report of the wages paid. A report called a tax return for the quarter ending Septem ber 30, 1968, is due by Octo ber 31, 1968. It is made on Form 942, a simnlified envelope tyoe of return. The social sec urity tax rate is presently 8.8 percent of the wages paid. One half of the tax 4.4 percent is paid by the employer. The other half is withheld from the maid’s pay each payday. The employer mails the return, a- long with the tax payment to Director of Internal Revenue, Columbia, S. C. Most maids are now covered by social security. Pay averag ing $3.85 or more weekly amounts to at least $50.00 in three months. The employer must report whether or not the maid wants social security coverage. An employer who fails to report is taking con siderable risk. He has to pay the full tax for all back per iods, plus penalty and interest.
