Did you pay your mom for childcare? If you put her name, social security number and amount of child care paid to her, then she will have to report this income on her tax return. She does not have to provide you with receipts and/or paystubs.
Qualifying expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit include:
- Childcare provided by a babysitter or licensed dependent care center.
- The cost of a cook, housekeeper, maid or cleaning person who provides care for the child or dependent.
- Day camp or summer camp fees, even for camps centered around a sport or activity, qualify if the camp was selected to provide care while the parent or parents were at work. However, overnight camps do not qualify.
- Costs related to before- and after-school care for children under 13.
- Costs related to a nurse, home care provider, or other care provider for a disabled dependent.
