More details to this question:
I overstayed my visa in the US and I am working as a nanny. The family asked me if I can pay taxes. So I said yes because I had to lie saying that I have a student visa. Now, can I fill the papers to pay taxes for them?
3 ANSWERS
First, you could not work on a student visa. Second, to pay taxes you need to have a social security number. Consult with a Tax specialist.

The obligation to pay US taxes isn't related to whether you're in the country on a valid visa or not. The family you work for should have given you a Form W-2. That contains all the information you need to file your taxes. Take an hour and fill out the tax form on TurboTax (it should be free). You might have to file it by mail because the password to access email filing comes from your return from last year and you probably didn't file last year.
