We built KinPayroll forthe family doing the caring.
The tools for paying a household employee were built for nannies and businesses — not for an adult child arranging care for an aging parent. So we built the one that leads with senior care.
When you hire an in-home aide for a parent, the IRS usually treats it as household employment — with your parent as the employer. That comes with real taxes, forms, and deadlines that nobody hands you a manual for.
Most families pay cash because it's easier, and most never hear that caregiver wages can be deductible as a medical expense, or that clean payroll records can help protect a parent's Medicaid options later. We wanted doing it right to be as easy as cash.
KinPayroll sets the household up correctly, runs the payroll, prepares the forms, and organizes the year's costs into a packet your tax advisor can work from. You stay focused on the care.
How we build.
Honest by default
Every tax estimate is conditioned on your situation and pairs with “consult your tax advisor.” We never overstate what a tool can do.
Built for one household
Not a business payroll system bolted onto families — designed for an adult child caring for a parent, with siblings able to help.
Flat and humane
One simple price, no per-transfer fees, free to start. The deduction, when you qualify, can more than cover it.
Start free — and do this the right way.
