This information is actually all wrong. She is NOT required to give it to you unless you supply your home daycare with the form W10. If you do not, she is required to give you nothing. If you supply it, then she is supposed to fill it out or face a fine. The fine is $50. If you left owing money, not sure what your circumstances were, but she may rather pay the fine then give you your information. I am actually surprised that the person answering is ill informed.
Yes, you are ILL informed. As a childcare provider for over 11 years and someone who has a tax attorney who specializes in this you are completely WRONG.
A provider (home) is NOT REQUIRED to give you the W10. (she/he didn't even know the right form but says that's nit picking.lol) YOU as a client must bring a BLANK W10 to be filled out by your provider. (licensed or not does not matter) Once you (the client) bring the BLANK form to be filled out THEN they are required to give you the information. Not before. And they do NOT have to give you ANYTHING unless you REQUEST the info by bringing the BLANK form. If they don't fill it out it is a $50 fine to the provider. If you left owing your provider, most would just pay the $50 than give you the form. However, most good home providers probably give you the form without requesting it providing you are in good standing. BUT there is NO LAW OR REQUIREMENT that they MUST give you anything with you bringing the form. There is also no deadline for them to fill it out by. If you are going to "volunteer" answers you should be up on the information you are providing to people who are trusting you to know.
