You should have asked for the childcare provider's SSN or Tax ID when they started to babysit for you----did you wait and surprise the childcare provider by asking for it at tax time----at a time when they had not planned for their own taxes and did not realize you wanted to use the credit and enter it on a tax return?   Going forward---always be clear with your childcare provider that you will want to use the childcare credit so they can plan to save enough to pay the self-employment tax they will owe to the IRS.

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.
