The Nanny Tax Company Story

Before “Nannygate” brought nanny taxes into the spotlight in 1993, many people were unaware of their obligation to pay taxes on household employees. Despite Congress’s efforts to simplify the filing process, it remained confusing and time-consuming.

Arthur Ellis saw an opportunity to ease this burden and founded The Nanny Tax Company in 1995 to help individuals navigate these complexities.

The simple service quickly gained popularity, and the company expanded significantly. Laura Weiland, who began working with Arthur in 1999, acquired the company in 2012. Laura’s three sisters – Judy, Sharon, and Sheila Connolly – joined her, bringing a wealth of experience in client service, data analysis, government, management, and problem-solving. Together, the family is committed to removing the stress from nanny taxes and offering a simple, cost-effective solution.
