I know this is an older thread but I was looking for info about this as well. When claiming the child care credit on my own taxes would I select that grandma is a household employee?
Is it too late now to issue her a 1099 misc? Neither of us has filed out taxes yet. She has no other income aside from her social security which is little to nothing. We paid her $10,000 for the year for child care help in our home.
