I watch a friends kids for her on a regular basis and she pays me monthly. She just informed me that she is going to claim me on her taxes as her childcare. Do I have to file taxes now because of this? I am a stay at home mom and have been for over 4 years so I haven't had to file in that long. I don't know if I have made enough to have to file though. But if I have and she claims me if I haven't filed will I get in trouble and will they take money from my husbands tax return? I'm so confused and don't know where to go for help!
