I paid my mother to babysit in my home in 2021. I understand she is exempt from FICA tax and i think i understand how to show this income on her return. However other than adding her as a Daycare provider on my return , do i still need to check the "Did you have a household employee ? " box n Turbo Tax on MY return ? Since she's exempt and i dint have to pay those taxes for her as an employee , should i still be checking this box? I have it checked currently and there was no other follow up questions regarding this. I would think they would have still asked questions on this employee in order to know what i paid out and to who and for what ? I want to ensure the paper trail between hers and my return is as clear as possible. I plan on taking the Child Care tax credit based on this payment. Thanks
