Our mother has been a messy house keeper. The last year she has always made excuses to come to my home and not hers, been brushing it off.
Now younger sister (24) is saying it is so bad she doesn't want to live there anymore. It's more like a hoarders house!!!! This is news to me!
My question is am I able to pay her in food and housing? How would I claim that? I don't want it to look like I am claiming 7 children by myself without assistance (illegal in my state)! Thank you for your time and advice!
I would give her x income and then "charge" her x amount in food and housing. It's the only way you can document x as outgoing and x as income.
Such as "sister, I agree to pay you $500 per month for working Monday through Friday from 800 am until 2:00 pm. You will pay me $500 per month for rent and groceries"
