Are you SURE about that?  Social Security and Medicare taxes are NOT always required.

Although the "agency" may have issued her a W-2, in some cases the employer is considered the person receiving the services.  If that is the case, the person is a Household Employee, and in some cases a Household Employee is NOT subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes (such as if it is your spouse).
