Should the total amount paid to care provider include social security tax and medicare tax if I paid those taxes on their behalf? For example: The gross wage figure I paid to the college student to watch my kids includes those tax amounts, that I then paid to the IRS on her behalf. The net wage figure that she took home as pay does not include those tax amounts.
Which figure do I use when completing TurboTax as the "total amount paid to care provider in 2020?"
