Receipt Question
I have a divorced couple that I watch 2 kids for and when they first started they both told me that they each pay for 1/2 of the daycare. It's included in the Dads child support. I signed a form stating how much daycare was for the Friend of court. They were in agreement to have a a receipt made out to each for their 1/2. Now the Mom has changed her mind and wants me to do one with the whole amount to her because she writes the check. I'm not sure what to do since I already gave them each a receipt.

Thanks. That's what I'm going to tell her if she brings it up again.

I agree with BC.
I would also set up separate accounts for each parent and have them each pay you directly since that is what was agreed to. It is easier to only contract with one parent, but going backwards seems really unfair to DCD. Out of curiosity, what is your plan if one does not pay their half? |

The CCTC can only be claimed by one parent. (the one that has the majority of physical custody) Even if they swap the claim for the deduction every year, the mom is "most likely: allowed the tax credit for child care expenses for the full amount that she has paid. (The amount of the checks that she has given to you) Where the money is coming from or if she is being reimbursed doesn't "really" come into play.
In your current situation I would only issue receipts once and advise the father that he would not be receiving receipts in the future. |
