My babysitter won't provide me the social security number for me to enter form 2441. What should I do to continue this progress on my own? It won't let me to continue.

This can be done by entering a fake number to continue, then when you print the return you must white it out or remove it. 

  • Example - 111-11-1111

 Attach an explanation with your return, providing the name and address of the person who refuses to give you their social security number (SSN).  Next, you must file your return by mail because it will not be accepted through e-file without the number.

 

Keep any information showing the proof of your payment to the babysitter.
