Deductions & credits

On form 2441 you can report that the childcare provider will not give you a SSN or Tax ID.  You  must then provide as much information about that person as you can, such as name, address, etc. and attach a statement to the 2441.  You will have to mail your tax return instead of e-filing it.  (And you will probably need to find a new sitter)
