Deductions & credits

I can't find any information about our situation- my mother lived with us in 2021 and we paid her for child care. The care happened in our home, which could make her a household employee, and we moved into a larger house to accommodate her living with us- so we'd be able to claim that expense.

 

But the care also happened in her home- so if she was able to report it as self-employment, she could deduct some of her portion of the rent, which might be ideal for reducing her tax liability.
