As a household, my parents also have a much higher annual income than my husband and I do. Jamie is a Brisbane-based mum of three who uses a mix of daycare and grandparent care during the week. Her mum does the majority of the regular care shifts while the in-laws provide essential back up care. Not only does it financially help us out but the kids are very fortunate to have this regular connection with both sets of grandparents that has resulted in a really beautiful relationship.
They are lucky to have both sets of parents living close by. It started with occasional babysitting, eventually turning into one full day of care per week. Mum would pick them up, sometimes still in their pyjamas, and take them back to her place. With three kids not yet at school, Sunshine Coast based mum Nicole normally uses daycare twice a week when she works. We haven't done it before and with no family living close by we normally just manage the demands of work and family life by ourselves.
Do you pay your parents or in-laws to look after your children or do you think it should only be done for love? If the grandparent babysits in her own home, she reports the income as self employment, on Schedule C, then line 12 of form Schedule 1. Thanks for your answer. However, i can't find form in my turbotax online screen. Neither on the left panel where i see all other forms, nor can i find it using 'Find' option on the top right.
