The State of Missouri no longer pays me for 2 minor children. I was their paid caregiver before the demise of their parents. I am on SSI and receive payment from survivor income of these 2 children who is in my care. Even though their survivor income is tax free also, Can I claim the portion that I receive for caregiving as income on my taxes? There is no W-2. What do I need to file showing these funds received as income?
Can I claim these children as my dependants and be the caregiver and the employee for these 2 minor children?
