Hi All,
I have several questions about rules for the Tax deduction when recruiting a "Assistante Maternelle" to take care of my son in her place with few other children 4 days aweek.
First of all, My son is French, Not a U.S. Alien resident and as I checked in form 1040 instructions (Line 6c) he is considered a Qualifying child but Not Dependent.
1-Can Iask for Tax deduction regarding his day care expenses if he is not a dependent?
2-Besides this fact that myson is not considered my dependent, my "Assistant Maternelle" is considered my Employee within French Laws. But for U.S. Tax purposes, should i declare that i have a business and she is my employee? or as an Independent Contractor?
3-I pay 50% of "Patronal Charges" and 50% is paid by the S.S. Should I declare that i pay for her obligatory health insurance because patronal charges comprise obligatory health insurance or not?
4-which forms to look up in these cases?
Thanks
Pitty
