Childcare, child care, or babycare is the act of caring for and supervising children usually from 0-8 years of age. (In the UK and Australia, day care is referred to as "childcare".) In the United States child care is increasingly referred to as early childhood education due to the understanding of the impact of early experiences of the developing child.

Child care is a broad topic covering a wide spectrum of contexts, activities, social and cultural conventions, and institutions.

How do I use the $3,000 deduction for childcare? Would there be increased risk of an audit?
Q. My mom has been coming to my house to help me babysit while my wife and I work. I've been giving her cash to reimburse her for food and gas. It probably came out to $3600 for the year. I just found out that I could claim $3,000 for childcare expenses. Is this the same situation as a household employee? Was I supposed to keep careful records and deduct social security or unemployment taxes? If I claim the deduction, my mom will need to claim the income. Would that expose us to additional risks of an audit? Is it worth the extra hassle and paperwork?

A. You will have to report her name address and SS# to the IRS on form 2441. They will use this to check that she claims the income on her return. She will have to file a Schedule C and the income will be subject to self employment tax and income tax. She will be able to deduct any expenses she has on the Schedule C.

How do I go about planning for a monthly fee based childcare service rather than a weekly fee?
Q. I am the coordinator for an afterschool program and we currently charge a weekly fee for our childcare service. Although we have used this method for the past three years I have heard that some schools and other programs charge a monthly fee. I would like to implement a monthly rate because it would be easier to manage and track. Due to student holidays it is hard to keep the fee at a steady rate. How do other organizations and programs deal with this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

A. They usually do not give a rebate for holidays. Another way is to see how many days are covered for each month and then adjust the fees accordingly./
