Schedule H would only be required for your parent if they provided childcare that occurred within your home when certain specific situations are met:

  • Your child that lives with you is under 18 or has a physical/mental condition which needs personal care for at least 4 continuous weeks
  • You are divorced and not remarried, a widow, or married to someone who has a physical or mental condition that prevents them from caring for the child for at least 4 continuous week.

If you meet either of these requirements as stated on page H-5 of Schedule H instructions, then you would need to include the parent as a household employee.
