Are Landscaping Services Subject to Sales Taxes?

When a landscaper gets paid as an independent contractor, their services are subject to state sales taxes in the following states:

However, more often than not, the IRS categorizes landscapers as household employees instead of independent contractors. If a landscaper earns more than the IRS-established minimum from a single employer ($2,400/year or $1,000/quarter for 2022), the employer has to withhold household employment taxes from their fees. This group of taxes is more casually known as the “nanny tax.” The nanny tax comprises federal and state income taxes, FICA taxes (Medicare and Social Security), and unemployment insurance. Employees must pay income taxes, employers pay unemployment insurance, and both parties pay FICA taxes. Any employer that misclassifies a landscaper is at risk of tax evasion charges.
