shouldn't be much trouble if u are claiming income. If your were claiming the child care as a paid out expense and therefore trying to make it a tax deduction, u would have to include the provider's ss # or business, or at least that's what I rememeber doing back in '96 when I had to do that (I keep them at home now!).

I wouldn't want u to do anything, "illegal", but if the person who paid u did so in cash and is not going to claim it on their taxes, I wouldn't worry about it!

6-5, noone is going to claim it as paid, i may not even have RECEIVED it

..... just want to claim that i did, meaning i probably have to pay social security tax on it, both as employee and employer

in case your wondering WHY....LOL (in a word, or an acronym, EIC)
