Can I still claim my babysitting expense on my taxes is she won't give me her SS #???

Yes.

From IRS website:
When the care provider refuses to give the identifying information, the taxpayer can still claim the credit and is instructed to provide whatever information is available about the provider (such as name and address) on the form used to claim the credit Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, or Form 1040A, Schedule 2, Child and Dependent Care Expenses for Form 1040A Filers).

The taxpayer should write "see page 2" in the columns calling for the missing information. He/she would write at the bottom of page 2 that the provider refused to give the requested information. This statement will show that the taxpayer used due diligence in trying to secure and furnish the necessary information.

This happened to me about 10 years ago.
Here is what I did...
Get a copy of form W-10 (link below)
Send it with an professional but assertive request and send it with a self addressed stamped envelope. That way they have no excuse like "I didn't know your address."
Also make sure to send it certified mail that way the IRS will see that you showed "due diligence" in obtaining the info.
It really won't take as long as it sounds either. Good Luck!

BTW, above suggests she needs a Fed. ID #, first off it's EIN or Employee ID Number, and you only need one if you have employess, otherwise you do business in your own name with dba (doing business as) your business name. But I was addressing a totally different subject, sorry...

So much misinformation. Hey even I may be somewhat wrong (but I think I'm right) If in doubt, contact the IRS Telephone Assistance for Individuals Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040. Or better yet pay about $50 for a preparer, you can write it off next year.

There is a Childcare deduction you can take, if it is for work. I think it must be more than $600 for the year. Not an accountant but I say, Claim it! If the IRS asks, give her name and address and tell them she refused to give SSN.

We had this problem with a contractor this year who would not give us his SSN so we could give him a 1099. We finally threatened to turn one in anyways with a letter to the IRS stating that he wouldn't give us the number and he caved. Obviously she is not wanting to claim that income on her taxes so she doesn't want you to claim the expense. Let her know you will be claiming it with a letter of explaination and that will probably scare her into giving it to you, (no one wants to piss of the IRS.) I would consult a tax professional before you actually do it though because we didn't actually have to send in the form, as soon as he got the message he called in with the number.

No, you will need the SSN in order to complete the form 2441 that is used to claim the credit for dependent care. If you are planning on efiling, the IRS will not accept the return unless this information is complete. The only way you might get it through is to paper file your return, although you will probably get a notice that your tax liability has been changed due to the credit not being allowed. Then you will have to go through the process of getting that cleared with the IRS. Is there a reason she is unwilling to give her SSN? I am a CPA and tax accountant and have never had any problems with getting the information for filing for the credit.

no you must have either her ssn or her ein(employee identification number) if you dont have either one of these then you wont be able to claim the deduction.


J n J .
You will have to have her name, address, and phone number. I'm not sure if this is correct, but that's what someone just told me a couple of days ago.


MaxnSam
No. You have to have that number.

You will need to talk to a tax person. If the person you sit for is claiming that she pays you she needs your SSI number. But I am not sure that you need hers, your tax person can tell you. It benifits her more then you usually, but good luck

She needs to apply for a Federal Identification number for her Babysitting business. Then she needs to give you that. If she is not willing, change babysitters and turn her in.

good luck & blessing

Yes, You can still get percentage of your money if you file the right IRS form but BEWARE - if you have paid in cash (as I did with my babysitter) and have no signature log for that, you are a toast and have to kiss all your child care expenses goodbye since legally there will be no proof of her receiving that money. It will be your word against hers and in court (unless you have a substantial number of witnesses) the verbal contract will not hold. My mistake cost me $1450.00 so PLEASE people, think before you act! Hopefully, this will help somebody else. Red flag -do not hire a babysitter if she refuses to give you her SS# or EIN#. These are con artists.
