Paying Child's grandparent and issueing w2

Hi All,

     We moved to a new home. Up until now an accountant used to to our taxes. This year we decided to do it ourselves. I am at loss in turbo tax about payment to MIL for child care inhouse. Our old accountant used to issue a W2 with a TIN that was issued to my wife for that precise payments. We also know since we are paying parent we don't have to worry about withholdings. 

 

My question how can I do this in Turbo Tax? There isn't a place for me to issue a W2 to a parent.

No business. W2 for grand mother caring for the child in our home.  This is considered household help. Since she is a parent of my wife fica is not needed. She will show that income on her return.
