My mom provides care for my son in her own home while I work. I pay her in cash or sometimes just pay her bills for her as a form of payment. It probably totaled up to $5000 for the year of 2022. I wanted to do the child care credit and it had me enter in her basic info, address, the amount I paid her and eventually asked me for her SSN for Form 2441. What happens then to me or her? Do I need to give her a W2 of some sort? Or how will she file her taxes?
I am beyond stressed out now because this was my first time filing my own taxes. I don’t want to screw my mom over from doing this.
