Situation: My parents retired in their home country and is now reunited with me here in the U.S. Now pending their legal status adjustment. My wife and my work schedule leaves huge gaps for child care during the weekdays so who better to get childcare from but Grandma and Grandpa. We are paying them to care for our child and would like to know the steps to file taxes for them as well as claiming child care credit when we file our own taxes.
Topics:
- What form will we need to prove this childcare payment is taking place?
- What form will we need to issue them?
- What for will they be using to file taxes?
- They live with us and thus would they be Household Employees? What documents will they need to file their 2023 taxes when the time comes?
