My 79 years old mom who lives with us for free and has no income at all is babysitting my kids. I give her $1200 a month so she can have money to buy what ever she likes. Does she have to pay income taxes and self employed taxes for the money I am giving her for babysitting? I do get food stamps and I did report to them that I do give my mom this money. Since it is counted as expenses for me. I need your advice. Thank you
Why isn't she getting any SSI at all?
I would chalk up the babysitting as her contribution to the home.
