<prompt> Human: Ive been working as a nanny for 3 months for 2 kids and great parents. We havent worked out the taxes yet though Ive been saving parts of my check til we figure it out. The parents want me to do a 1099 so they can still write me off their taxes at the end of the year. They are willing to just give me a W2, but they say itll cost them and me more. None of us want to do it under the table. Im wondering what are some alternatives to a standard W2? And what exactly all my option are here.Thanks  <response>: Legally, there arent any options; theyre required to provide a W-2, not a 1099.
