*Loan,banking and credit>>>income tax

Babysitter will not allow me to claim her wages on income tax...what should I do?

I would download a form W-10 from the IRS web site. (available at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw10.pdf... ). Fill out part II, and then present the form to her to fill out part I and return. This form asks for all the information you need, as well as explaining why the information is requested.

If they don't return the form, that's powerful evidence that you attempted all reasonable measures to obtain the information. You'll then be able to file Form 2441 or Schedule 2 and claim the dependant care credit based on the information you do have.

Oh, keep in mind if you are unable to obtain a SSN (or EIN), then you'll have to do a paper filing of your tax return, as you cannot electronically file without the SSN. Source(s): I had a client last season with H&R block that could not obtain a SSN for their daycare provider. Also see http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq7-1.html...

Consult a tax person and ask if she is allowed to deny you this information.
Pay her less than what she wants. If her fees are the 'going rate', you are entitled to claim the income tax deduction for child care. She's trying to have her cake and eat it as well.
It depends...Do you pay by check or cash? If you pay her by check, you can claim her wages.

Did you do a background check? If so, you should have her Social Security number.
first find out if youll get money back from the irs if you claim with this sitter. usually when this happens the sitter is charging less so there is no point in claiming the child care, ten dollars a week less then others will mean your make more money in the end then the irs will give you back. if not, then get another sitter cause she dont want to file most likely cause she cant save her money to pay her own taxes.
The babysitter doesn't really have a choice. By law, day care providers including babysitters are required to provide their tax ID number (see form W-9 instructions.) failure to provide this information can result in penalties (for the babysitter)

You do not need this information to claim the child care credit (Form 2441). You can file your tax return with out this information. Just document what steps you took to obtain this information. You will need to provide name and address. You cannot electronically file the return without the EIN or SS#.
