Household employers are required to deposit taxes against and file IRS Schedule H, which Wave's automated payroll tax payments and filings do not support. Household employers can take advantage of the great self-serve features available in Wave Payroll, including payroll calculations, direct deposit for employee pay, and W-2 generation at year end, but are not able to take advantage of tax service.
