Failed to submit 1099-MISC by March 31st to IRS for wages paid to parent for childcare/household services, How to proceed?

Level 15

As long as the parent reports the income you paid them on a tax return, you can take the dependent care credit on your tax return. You will need to enter their SSN on your tax return and they need to claim the income as Self-Employment income on their tax return. You do not need to give them a form, a parent is an exception to the general rule.

How do I get the Child and Dependent Care in TurboTax?
Where do I enter Schedule C? (for the parent's return)

Where should the parent report this income on their return?

Miscellaneous income?

Level 15

They would need to report this as self-employed income.

Go to federal>income and expenses>
Self-Employment>Self-employment income and expenses
Complete the profile that asks about your business
Then there will be a screen where you will enter your self-employment income.
