TAX TIME ALERT! ElderCarePay Publishes New, Free White Paper Available for Download

Philadelphia, PA – March 26, 2007 – The deadline for filing Federal income tax is April 15th – and there are still things you need to know before you file – especially if you have a household employee like an eldercare worker.

ElderCarePay™, the first software product specifically designed for household employers of nurses, nurses' aides and other caregivers, is offering a free white paper “Above the Table, or Not – How to Ensure Tax Compliance for You & Your Eldercare Employees,” available for download now at www.eldercarepay.com/whitepapers/above.pdf.

The new white paper discussed the definitions of household employees, and describes the increase in eldercare issues affecting baby boomers, or the “Sandwich” generation. “Above the Table, or Not” also discusses the dangers household employers face if they decide not to pay their employees “above the table.” Many people pay their care provider “under the table” not because they are trying to avoid the law, but because they simply do not understand that the payroll tax laws apply to them. The white paper provides a brief overview of tax laws as they apply to household employees, and provides information on how various payroll and tax software packages work, including ElderCarePay.

ElderCarePay, introduced in the fall of 2006, is the first software product specifically designed for use by household employers of eldercare givers or providers. The product was created by the team at Essentia Software Corporation, innovators of solutions for the unique problems of employers of nannies, babysitters, care providers, eldercare givers, nurses, and other domestic help. The company and its acclaimed NannyPay® software program have been featured nationally on CNN and in a variety of business and financial magazines. Additional information about ElderCarePay, including a free 30-day trial of the software is available at http://www.ElderCarePay.com.
