Deductions & credits

Unless you are audited some day, you are not going to be required to submit proof with your tax return of what method you used to pay your babysitter.  You will be asked for the childcare provider's SSN or Tax ID and for the amount you paid the childcare provider to take care of your child so you could work.  Save your records.
