What do I enter in the EIN number section if I paid a family member for childcare and transportation to and from school?
My mother-in-law watched our daughter and transported her to and from school. How would I enter an EIN for childcare?

You might be able to enter her ssn instead of an EIN. Don't know if it goes in the same spot or a different spot. But ssn should work to report the payments.

You paid a person, so you enter the SSN. If she cared for the child in your home instead of hers, she may be a household employee with additional responsibilities on your part.
