Came across this thread when I was looking for tax answers and I have a similar situation.
My mom is helping take care of our baby for
a month and I’m paying her for that using my dependent care fsa. My understanding was I would need to register a FEIN and a California state tax ID to report taxes and then issue her a W2 as well, but from previous discussions on this thread it looks like I could just pay her cash/check and she reports and pays taxes for this income.
Are there any tax forms I would need to fill for this payment?
