    First time filing taxes
    This is the first time I have had to file taxes. I had a child in 2008, work as a daycare assistant and provide daycare from my home as well. How do I find out what forms I need to file for taxes?

    If you provided daycare out of your home and your clients want to claim the Child Care Credit, you will need to provide them with your name, address, SSN and the amount you received from them for the service you provided.

    You need to report this income as a business, filing Form 1040 with Schedules C and SE. This type of tax return is NOT for amateurs, even with tax software.

    So it is clear that you need professional tax help. You can email me at [email protected] for a more detailed analysis and for a fee quote.
