Household employee or independent contractor (self-employed)
Hi,
I would like to ask. I get paid $6,000 in cash from my son for babysitting his children in his house. He didn't give me any W-2 or 1099 and he wants to claim that money as Child and Dependent Care Credit. In this case should I claim my income as "Household employee" or "Independent Contractor"?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, some of my friends tell me that because I'm the grandmother and doing nanny job at my son's house so I don't need W-2 and I can claim my income as "Household employee". Is it right or wrong??
Besides, is it an obligation to submit W-2 if we claim as household employee
Thanks a lot,
