@Hal_Al
what is the current process for reporting self employment income? I do not see the "business" section you mention
I pay my mother 12,000 annually for childcare in her home. I have claimed the dependent care credit and entered her SSN and name on my end. She was previously filing as other misc income with HSH designation on 1040 but now realized that she is not gaining any credits towards social security.
From what I have gathered in this thread, she should report what I pay her as self employment schedule C? is this correct?
Thank you!
