BUT the first thing I did when I came to the states was getting a SSN because friends from other agencies told me that you have you have a SSN. and I mean you use the SSN for everything, bank account & driver license & so on.!! Think you made the right choice changing agency, because as an aupair with Eur Aupair I would NEVER EVER recommended Eur Aupair to anyone... I've been treated like shit, they just make you pay them & do whatever they tell you to do, but when you need help with stuff they are suppose to help you out with they just leave you out there in the dark, they don't give a shit! BUT MAKE SURE YOUR NEXT AUPAIR GETS A SSN WHEN SHE/HE ARRIVES.. IT DOESN'T COST A THING & SHE/HE WILL NEED IT ANYWAYS... :) GOOD LUCK...

I've been pleased with the comunications fom AuPairCare both last year and this year. This year, our LCC dedicated the March cluster mtg to taxes and filling out the forms. I don't know what my au pair will do (I encouraged her to file and pay), but she certainly has the information now to make an informed choice.

No doubt they'd keep the same number, but you should inform them if you have a different status, such as F-1, because you might be eligible for some type of work under a different visa.

So I suppose some agencies do give this information, or do it as of recently. Why there have been so few problems? IRS has bigger fish to catch for sure, than a few hundred dollars owed by au pairs. anonymous,

Why do so many agencies just not come forward with that info ? And why, have there been so few problems to date ? No aupair of mine has ever had any problem.

If you are an Au pair in the US on a j1 visa, then you need to file taxes if you make more than 3650 in any year. There is no conflict.
