Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

If the daycare providers refuse to give me their SSN numbers how do I pass the form 2441 on Turbotax?

The EIN has been added to the 2441 but it is still requiring me to add a SSN number, how do I bypass this?

If the childcare provider just does not want to give out their SSN, they can get a Tax ID from the IRS to use instead.

But----if the problem is that the childcare provider does not want to pay tax on their income and is refusing to give you their information-----

 

When a childcare provider will not give you a SSN or Tax ID

 

If they still refuse to provide an EIN or SSN, send your provider a W-10 (Request for Taxpayer Information and Identification Number).  You can get a copy of the W-10 by clicking here: W-10 Form & Instructions  Complete as much of the form as you can and send it via certified mail (after making copies for yourself).

 

If the provider does not respond within 10 business days, you can still file your return.  However, you won't be able to e-file.  Print and mail in your return, along with an explanation and a copy of the W-10 you sent your provider.

There is something odd about your question.  If you are using a provider who has a business tax number, you should not also be asked for an SSN.  Are you using 2 different providers?  If you have accidentally created a second provider whose information is not complete, that will block filing.  You may need to review the list of providers and delete and start over, or delete the entire child care credit and then start over.
