Overview
Employers who only employ domestic employees, such as those who work for individuals in a home, use the forms listed on this page to report domestic employees’ wages.
You must pay unemployment taxes for domestic employee wages quarterly unless you elect to report the wages and pay taxes annually to the Texas Workforce Commission. Only employers who report wages for domestic employees only are eligible to report wages annually.
Domestic Employer’s Annual Election Form
Domestic employers use the Domestic Employer’s Election Form (Form C-20) to elect to report wages and pay taxes annually. You must submit the annual election form by December 31st to begin filing annually for the next year. Otherwise, you must continue filing reports and making tax contributions quarterly. Once a domestic employer elects to report and pay annually, domestic employers do not need to resubmit the election form each year as long as they employ only domestic employees.
