I declare under the penalties imposed for filing false reports that the number of exemptions and dependency credits claimed on this certificate do not exceed the number to which I am entitled.

Employees who provide domestic or household services and are hired directly by the service recipient—or their representative—under a program that uses a Fiscal/Employer Agent may be exempt from certain federal and state taxes typically paid by employers and employees. These exemptions depend on factors such as the employee’s student status, age, or family relationship to the employer (the holder of the Employer Identification Number, or EIN). These exemptions are mandatory and must be applied as required by law.

This form will assist Morning Sun Financial Services in ensuring the correct tax classification for your employees.

By signing below, you acknowledge that—based on the relationship to your employer as indicated above—your wages may not be subject to Social Security, Medicare, or unemployment taxes. As a result, these wages may not count toward eligibility for retirement, disability, or survivor benefits under Social Security. You also acknowledge that these tax exemptions are mandatory and must be applied based on your relationship to the employer listed above. To learn more about Social Security programs, please visit www.ssa.gov or call 1-800-772-1213.
