Deductions & credits

If your 19 year old is filing on her own -Yes. You will provide her name and social to qualify for the child care deduction. She will enter it as income. 

 

If you are claiming the 19 year old, then you can't claim the child care credit and the 19 year old will not claim the income.

 

See Topic no. 602, Child and dependent care credit.
