Thank you! Sorry I think the OPs situation very similar to mine so I just jumped in. So my mom is living with us. I hired her to help taking care of the baby then also take care of the house and cooking while we at work. I have been paying her at a rate of 1200$ each month by check or cash. My mom just got her SSN around March of 2022 and that’s when I started to hire her. I never claim her as dependent but I’m considering to this year unless it’s not allowed as I’m currently hiring her?
My question is, I know she’s Recieving income so she needs to file her tax and pay the medical and SS tax, but can I generate a W2 for her or what tax form she will need to use to file her tax? If I claim her as dependent, can she still file her tax or I will need to file for her under my tax filing? Thank you!
