Deductions & credits

I'm in a similar situation, where my mom comes to babysit at our home. She's also retired, SS income and not my dependent.

I'm in CA, which seems to have similar rules as the IRS for using family members as household employees, but do I have to report the wages to the CA EDD as a household employer (even though I don't have to pay any payroll taxes, nor do I have to withhold income tax)?
