Dependent Care Credit

Good morning,

I thank you ahead of time for taking time to read/answer my question/inquiry.

 

My mother watches my daughter and gets paid bi-weekly. Her only other form of income is SSI Disability. By me claiming this credit and marking her as the caretaker, how will that affect my mother? She normally does not file taxes (to my knowledge).

Will she need to file taxes if I claim this credit and claim that income? Will she need to pay taxes on that? Income paid to her is $3,120 for the year.

 

Thank you!
