@eleven13 You cannot claim the childcare credit for a childcare provider who you also claim as a dependent on your tax return. And....if you have paid your mom more than $4400 in 2022 she earned too much to be claimed as anyone's dependent. She is performing work in your household and could be considered to be a household employee. The amount you say you have paid her does not quite reach the threshold for her to have a filing requirement for 2022 if it is below $12,950 for 2022. Tax year 2023 may be different.
