You have been dribbling out important details that should have been included when you began posting about this, and it is really difficult to follow. In March you began to ask about using FSA funds, and mentioned paying your mother. Several different people have tried to answer. Bu you keep adding little twists to the question...perhaps without realizing that they are important. But you did not say where the child care was taking place--your home or her home. It has since evolved to "friend or relative" and now it is mother in law and in your home. And you are confused as to whether your childcare provider has to be running a business.
In order to make this less confusing for any of us to help with-----please re-state your question ----and this time include all the pertinent details in one post. Who is the childcare provider? Where (in whose home?) is the the childcare being provided? What funds are you using to pay the childcare provider---are you paying out of pocket or are you using FSA money?
