Is Schedule OR-WFHDC a requirement for child care?

This is the first time I've used Turbotax. Last year my CPA didn't need the names and SS# of who we paid for child care. Using Turbotax is that for going to be required or can I put down something more generic like child care instead of names and SS#'s?

Is Schedule OR-WFHDC a requirement for child care?

The IRS requires the identity of person or organization providing child care( for the child care credit) for your dependent. If the care provider is a tax-exempt organization, you need only report the name and address of the organization on your return. You can use Form W-10 (PDF), Dependent Care Provider's Identification and Certification, to request this information from your provider. They are required to give you this information, with a potential $50 fine if they do not.

If they refuse to provide the tax number, then you cannot e-file your tax return. You can print your return and mail it in. Write "refused" in the space for the daycare provider's tax number, and attach a separate written statement that gives the providers name, address, other identification, and describes the efforts that you made to obtain the tax number.  As a side note, Tax practitioners needed that information last year also, unless a paper return was prepared and mailed to the IRS.
