With the exception of the sexual favors, we just say clean, and they do. But the IRS seems to think that maids in the house qualify for their regs.
Maybe I should call Justice Breyer to get a ruling.

Or you could assume that unless you are appointed to the federal bench or run for office within the next three years that unless you are engaged in a whole lot of other tax shenaningans shit that nobody will ever find it and if they did it isn't worth auditing you over.
Assume that the helpers are her independent contractors and you are paying her on a cost-plus basis. Thererore you have no witholding or reporting obligation.
With respect to the sexual favors, if they are there primarily to clean, the sex is a gift. Unless said maid is in-fucking-credible, it is highly unlikely that the sex is worth more than the $10,000 gift exclusion. Consequently, there would be no gift tax due, with respect to which you could have secndary transferee liability.
