An "undocumented" status refers to an individual's immigration status when they do not possess the legal authorization to reside, work, or remain in a country. This means the person lacks valid visas, permits, or other documentation required by immigration authorities. Individuals with undocumented status may face challenges accessing certain services, employment, or legal protections. Understanding this status is important for legal, social, and administrative contexts, particularly when handling documents requiring notarization or legalization.

Yes, a person with an undocumented status can file taxes in the United States. The IRS allows individuals without a Social Security Number (SSN) to file taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). An ITIN is issued to taxpayers who are not eligible for an SSN but need to comply with U.S. tax laws. Filing taxes using an ITIN helps individuals meet their legal obligations, may allow them to claim certain tax benefits, and can establish a record of income which may be useful for future immigration processes. It is important to file accurately and securely, and using services like those provided by MaDora Stone LLC ensures confidentiality and reliability in handling sensitive documents.

In most states, you do need witnesses to complete a valid Will. Typically, two impartial witnesses must be present when you sign the Will, or when you acknowledge your signature on the Will. These witnesses must also sign the document to confirm they observed the signing. Their role is to help ensure the Will’s authenticity and prevent fraud or undue influence.

Requirements can vary by state, so it's important to follow local laws. Some states may allow notarization instead of witnesses, or additional formalities like self-proving affidavits. To avoid any issues with probate, consulting a notary or legal professional to assist with the signing process is recommended.

A medical directive, also known as an advance healthcare directive or living will, is a legal document that outlines a person’s preferences regarding medical treatment and healthcare decisions in the event they become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves. It typically includes instructions about life-sustaining treatments, resuscitation, pain management, and other critical healthcare choices.

Whether a medical directive needs to be notarized depends on state laws. While notarization is not always mandatory, having the document notarized can help verify its authenticity and may be required by some healthcare providers or institutions. Many states require the directive to be signed in the presence of witnesses, and some states additionally require notarization to make the document legally binding.

For maximum legal protection and acceptance, it is advisable to check specific state requirements and consider notarizing the medical directive, especially if it will be used in multiple states or complex medical situations. MaDora Stone LLC offers notarization services to ensure your medical directives are handled with integrity, confidentiality, and convenience.

After signing and notarization, the documents can be sent back to the relevant parties in Florida. Using an encrypted portal to securely transmit these sensitive and confidential documents helps maintain integrity and confidentiality throughout the process.

A Loan Signing Agent cannot change the dollar amount or any other information on loan documents if there is an error. Their role is to witness signatures and verify the identity of the signer, not to alter loan terms. Any errors in the documents must be corrected by the lender or the issuing party before the signing appointment. Changing amounts or details without authorization compromises the integrity of the process and may lead to legal consequences. Always ensure documents are reviewed and corrected by the appropriate parties prior to signing (click here to see disclaimer).

No, you cannot include your unborn child as a dependent on your taxes. The IRS requires that a child must be born alive during the tax year to be claimed as a dependent. Therefore, if your child is still unborn by the end of the year, you cannot list them on your tax return for that year. You can claim your child starting the year they are born alive.

To file your taxes as a nanny with $52,000 in income, you will need the following documents:

• Form W-2 (if you worked as a household employee for one or more employers who withheld taxes)

• Form 1099-NEC (if you worked as an independent contractor and were paid directly without tax withholding)

• Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

• Records of all income earned (pay stubs, bank statements, or payment logs)

• Receipts for deductible expenses (e.g., supplies or work-related costs)

• Form 2441 (if you paid for child and dependent care and want to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit)

• Schedule H (Household Employment Taxes) to report and pay Social Security, Medicare, and federal unemployment (FUTA) taxes if you qualify as a household employee

• Form 1040 for your individual tax return

If you earned $2,400 or more as a household employee (2025 threshold, may vary), your employer is required to provide you with a W-2. If you’re self-employed, you’ll report income on Schedule C and pay self-employment taxes using Schedule SE.

Keep detailed records of your earnings and expenses throughout the year to ensure accurate filing. Consider consulting a tax professional to confirm compliance with household employment tax rules.

A household employee is an individual hired to perform domestic services in a private home. This includes tasks such as cleaning, cooking, caregiving, gardening, babysitting, or maintenance work. The key factor is that the employee works in the employer's private residence rather than in a business or commercial setting. Household employees may be full-time, part-time, or temporary workers, and their employer is typically a private individual or family. These employees are subject to specific tax and legal requirements, including potential payroll tax obligations for the employer.

No, you do not need to live with the family to be considered a household employee. A household employee is anyone hired to perform duties around a private home, such as cleaning, cooking, or caregiving, regardless of whether they reside in the household. Employment status depends on the nature of the work and the employer-employee relationship, not on living arrangements.
