We love working with Mary. She is very responsive and very honest with us. If she thinks what we are doing is not right for our books, she will tell us. And she is very easy to work with.

I do not know how to keep my accounting records. Mary helped me get organized and she keeps my books for me. She also answers my question within a reasonable time period.

The proper handling of personal taxes is difficult and time consuming enough, but when mixed with even more complex corporate tax and accounting situations, the job can seem overwhelming. When this happens it is no time for part-time, strip mall tax preparers or do-it-yourself software programs. You need a professional with the education, training, experience, communication skills, dedication and attention to detail your case deserves. For the past several years I have trusted Mary Pang, CPA with the management of all my accounting needs and have received, in my opinion, the highest level of professional service available in the state. Mary Pang, CPA is definitely Oklahoma's rising star of accounting!

Quick response times and very easy to work with!

I felt this was a very simple process and loved being able to do it via email and internet. Since I was doing everything from the comfort of my home, if I needed any additional documents, it was quick, convenient and easy for me to get them, as opposed to having to leave a location to return home for missing documents. I felt that Mary was very friendly and prompt in everything that she did. I would definitely feel comfortable returning to her for my taxes.

Mary has been preparing my family business' taxes for years now. She also handles my mother's and my tax returns as well. She is always friendly and professional with her clients and tries her best to understand our tax situation. She works well with my sister's CPA in Oregon (due to our family business return) and is always available to answer our questions. If she is not available, she normally gets back to us within 1 day. We are very thankful to have her as our CPA and she is wonderful to work with.

Alfred

I have been Mary's client for 8 years now. She is my personal QuickBooks guru that I could email or call if I have any questions. She normally gets back to me within one day. She would give me step by step instructions on how to get something done in QuickBooks and if it is too much for me to handle, she will log into my computer remotely and get it fixed herself. If she is unable to fix it, she will get QuickBooks support to fix it for me or she will learn how to get it done. The best thing about Mary is that she will admit her mistakes. I have not met a lot of accountants who will admit their mistake. To me, that means she is honest and is humble enough to know everyone makes mistakes.

Angie

I am thankful to have Mary as my CPA. I can be sure that everything is taken care of and that my tax return is done right. Just recently, I received letters from IRS & Oklahoma Tax Commission. I have no idea what to do so I took those letters to Mary. She got right to it and called IRS & Oklahoma Tax Commission and got the issue fixed for me. She then calls me to explain what the issue was and what has been done to correct the situation. I appreciate the effort she took to explain it to me in a way I could understand. Best of all, I did not have to do anything other than getting the information to Mary and letting her handle it.

Catherine

Mary helped me in saving a lot of money in my payroll issue with IRS. Before our company hired Mary, we were paying a lot of payroll tax penalties because I am always so busy with my business and do not have the time to pay my payroll taxes on time. Once we hired Mary, we no longer have to worry about not paying our payroll taxes on time. She logs onto our computer remotely and she schedules the payment every week. I also feel confident because she is always available to answer questions. I can call her up & she will get back to me within a day. If she does not know the answer to my question, she will say so & look it up for me. She will then call or email me back with the answers she found out. I am very thankful to find a CPA who helps me and who is not scared of admitting that she does not know everything.

You couldn't ask for a better "hand-holding", expertise thoroughness, HARD WORKER!!!, with personality plus and a lovely demeanor. She's considerate, thoughtful and the very best part for me is patient!!! I ask a lot of questions...detailed, sometimes nit-picky questions. She always went out of her way to respond quickly and with the utmost respect. I wish she would go out on her own, as I'd follow her anywhere! Oh, and if she doesn't know an answer, she freely admits it and gets back to you promptly with the answer when she gets it. She works well/coordinating with other CPA firms/office personnel, even if that can be tricky and often holds up her work for you!

Paula Fenster Brust

I had no idea how to keep my books. I just didn't know all that comes with owning my business. When I contacted Mary, she was so helpful in explaining a lot of concerns I had and have me fix some early mistakes I had done. I still don't understand a lot of what's going on, but every time I have questions Mary is just a phone call away. She also sends me a text every 15 days or so to let me know I'm doing okay, plus a full report every month. Letting a professional do what she does best has just alleviated one of my biggest headaches and I know it is getting done the right way.

Triton Bixby

Mary helped us with our QuickBooks set up. She answered all our questions regarding QuickBooks & she trained us in how to effectively use QuickBooks for our business. We also asked for her help in getting our books up to date. She managed to get it done in 1 day and all I have to do is keep it going. We love working with Mary. She is friendly, very helpful & very prompt in her responses.

Lisa Pally

I was so pleased with this class. Mary is very knowledgeable and is very thorough. She explains information in a way you can understand it very clearly. If you have questions, she is more than willing to show you how to get things done! Highly recommend her expertise.

Marti Jackson

Mary has been very helpful in setting up our accounting in a small business we have started. She is very knowledgeable and willing to help in any way needed. She is an accountant wiz whom I have received nothing but great advice. I am so happy I met her!

Leonor Carnoske

Mary saved my QuickBooks. Mary recently helped us get our QuickBooks in order. I was expecting it to take hours but she was able to get us taken care of in a little over an hour. It is clear that she is knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend her services.

Sandra Baca

Mary is extremely personable and knowledgeable in accounting. I really enjoyed her personality and friendliness as we discussed my business specifics. She was able to answer so many questions and anything she needed to look into further, she got back to me in a very timely manner. Mary was thorough in reviewing my documents and information before preparing my return. I am thankful I met Mary and look forward to working with her in the future!

The “nanny tax” must be paid for more than just nannies

You may have heard of the “nanny tax.” But even if you don’t employ a nanny, it may apply to you. Hiring a housekeeper, gardener or other household employee (who isn’t an independent contractor) may make you liable for federal income and other taxes. You may also have state tax obligations.

If you employ a household worker, you aren’t required to withhold federal income taxes from pay. But you may choose to withhold if the worker requests it. In that case, ask the worker to fill out a Form W-4. However, you may be required to withhold Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes and to pay federal unemployment (FUTA) tax.

FICA and FUTA tax

In 2019, you must withhold and pay FICA taxes if your household worker earns cash wages of $2,100 or more (excluding the value of food and lodging). If you reach the threshold, all the wages (not just the excess) are subject to FICA.

However, if a nanny is under age 18 and child care isn’t his or her principal occupation, you don’t have to withhold FICA taxes. So, if you have a part-time babysitter who is a student, there’s no FICA tax liability.

Both an employer and a household worker may have FICA tax obligations. As an employer, you’re responsible for withholding your worker’s FICA share. In addition, you must pay a matching amount. FICA tax is divided between Social Security and Medicare. The Social Security tax rate is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the worker (12.4% total). Medicare tax is 1.45% each for both the employer and the worker (2.9% total).

If you want, you can pay your worker’s share of Social Security and Medicare taxes. If you do, your payments aren’t counted as additional cash wages for Social Security and Medicare purposes. However, your payments are treated as additional income to the worker for federal tax purposes, so you must include them as wages on the W-2 form that you must provide.

You also must pay FUTA tax if you pay $1,000 or more in cash wages (excluding food and lodging) to your worker in any calendar quarter. FUTA tax applies to the first $7,000 of wages paid and is only paid by the employer.

Reporting and paying

You pay household worker obligations by increasing your quarterly estimated tax payments or increasing withholding from wages, rather than making an annual lump-sum payment.

As a household worker employer, you don’t have to file employment tax returns, even if you’re required to withhold or pay tax (unless you own your own business). Instead, employment taxes are reported on your tax return on Schedule H.

When you report the taxes on your return, you include your employer identification number (not the same as your Social Security number). You must file Form SS-4 to get one.

However, if you own a business as a sole proprietor, you include the taxes for a household worker on the FUTA and FICA forms (940 and 941) that you file for your business. And you use your sole proprietorship EIN to report the taxes.

Keep careful records

Keep related tax records for at least four years from the later of the due date of the return or the date the tax was paid. Records should include the worker’s name, address, Social Security number, employment dates, dates and amount of wages paid and taxes withheld, and copies of forms filed.

Contact us for assistance or questions about how to comply with these employment tax requirements.
