Gutter Downspout Cleaning Los Angeles
Question. Los Angeles, CA - My storm trooper wife makes me pay her to clean our gutter downspouts. She’s not kidding! She makes my life miserable if I don’t pay her. Not a lot more miserable than if I don’t...come to think of it. I’m living a life of quiet desperation except there’s a lot of loud bitching. I keep thinking it would be cheaper to hire a hit man and a commercial cleaning service. Professor my question is this, “Do I have to pay employment tax on the money I pay her?” I don’t want to go to jail...probably.
Answer. I spend a lot of time keeping cleaning victims out of Los Angeles jails. From what I read you don’t need to pay taxes. Your wife or husband, kids or even parents are excepted from any need to pay employment taxes for household services they might provide. I’m not sure about a hit man. I would assume that such a person would be considered an independent contractor. But, of course, you shouldn’t hire one. That would be wrong as your Mr. Nixon said. Check with your accountant or a lawyer to be sure.

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
