Payroll taxes are who to worry about, that involves not just the IRS but the state DOR as well. The state DOR is what you want to really worry about, they're a lot more hungry than the IRS and have more time on their hands.

What kind of work are you having done? Why aren't these just contractors? Is this like a babysitter or housekeeper?

Honestly, just use a service instead of treading into that water right there. It'll save you the headache and the idea that something may show up in the mail one day.

As others have stated, disgruntled people can easily send the DOR after you. What happens if they get hurt in your house? How are you going to take care of them? Homeowners insurance is going to sniff around about why they were changing your light bulbs or something like that if it's not just "stepped off the porch wrong" kind of thing.
