Do I Have to Send DCF 2015 Expense Info?

[DaveA]

Every year I give each family a paper telling their yearly childcare expenses. Not an official IRS type form: just a signed excel sheet with my contact info & EIN with dates, check #s, and amounts of all payments. This year I had a term that ended badly- up to and including a false DCFS report as a final "FU" on their way out. I really don't want to have any other contact with this family. I always give receipts with any payment- do I have to send them their form?

I'm really leery that any contact with them will cause me more headaches.

Thanks

You only have to provide it if they provide you with IRS form W-10. If they do not provide you with it and ask for you to fill it out, then you're under no obligation to provide anything.

That can be your final FU - make them ask for the info instead of providing it for them.

I had a ticked off former client get my EIN from the previous years tax return, and then claim the maximum $ for child care reimbursement even though the kid was only here through January/early Feb of last year. She ended up getting audited. I had to mail the IRS my 'proof'. I always wonder if she got into trouble.

So yup, I would mail one. If nothing just to say you did so (and certified mail with a copy of what was sent, too). The IRS agent was very pleased when I gave him that info. She knowingly lied.
