Publication 926
taxmap/pubs/p926-001.htm#en_us_publink100086728 | It is unlawful for you knowingly to hire or continue to employ
an alien who cannot legally work in the United States. |
When you hire a household employee to work for you on a regular
basis, you and the employee must complete the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS) Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. No later than
the first day of work, the employee must complete the employee section of the
form by providing certain required information and attesting to his or her
current work eligibility status in the United States. You must complete the
employer section by examining documents presented by the employee as evidence of
his or her identity and employment eligibility. Acceptable documents to
establish identity and employment eligibility are listed on Form I-9. You should
keep the completed Form I-9 in your own records. Do not submit it to the IRS,
the USCIS, or any other government or other entity. The form must be kept
available for review upon notice by an authorized U.S. Government official.
Two copies of Form I-9 are contained in the Handbook for Employers
(Form M-274) published by the USCIS.
 | Call the USCIS at 1-800-870-3676 to order the Handbook for
Employers; or you may download the handbook at
www.uscis.gov. If you have questions about the employment eligibility
verification process or other immigration-related employment matters, contact
the USCIS Office of Business Liaison at 1-800-357-2099.
