HSH work line 7 versus Sch C for client who helps three households but earns under $2K each?

Also, does that mean that client pays no social security taxes.

Your client will not pay SS tax, and no credit for SS wages for their retirement. Your client could put all their wages on schedule C and pay SS taxes thereby building their future SS benefits. Sorry its sometimes hard to get a direct answer on this forum

Earnings of $ 400 or more must be reported, and are subject to SE tax....even if it's $1 from four hundred different payers.

Line 7 vs Line 21 is driven by what your client received.

edit...and Line 7 vs Line 21 is old news (n/a for 2018...)

On Wages Worksheet, line 7, I detailed the the three people where client assisted as a household employee. If his wage is under $2100 per household, the payer is not required to file a W-2. Proseries enters this amount on Line 7 with the code HSH in front of it. I have used it since the Clinton presidency when the minimum HSH gradually increased from $50/quarter to the current $2100/yr. Is there any reason why I can't continue doing this as versus a Sch. C? Except that no social security tax is being paid?
