Sched C is the way to go, it gives you certain deductions you would not have if you just claimed it as miscellaneous income. Go back to the same CPA.

Speaking for myself as per my career, I've been an independent contractor... thus my employer gives me a 1099 to show income, no taxes are taken out. It is up to me to make my own estimated quarterly income tax payments to the IRS four times a year.

I would suggest you ask a tax preparer what to do especially if you had worked for numerous people throughout the year.

I am going back to the same CPA, he is a wonderful person and a friend to our whole Family. GOD bless the caregivers!

As a paid caregiver, I believe that your employer is supposed to provide you with a 1099 which you use to file your income tax as a self-employed person. Have they given you a 1099?

No, I get paid out of my Mother's VA pension which is non taxable. I spend a lot of it on my Mother for supplies and meds, etc. I signed a contract with the VA and I write myself a check each month out of my Mother's checking account to keep a record of it. I was hoping someone knew about chance's made to help us caregiver's. Last year I got it done by a CPA and I had to pay $210/00 to the CPA and $925.00 to IRS. I only make 800.00 per month and I spend that back on Mommy.

I quit my part time job the day my Mother became sick and could no longer walk. That was 2013 Feb 2nd. The CPA filed a Schedule C for me as a small business. I am not a small business. I will never do this caregiver stuff again after Mommy passes on to Glory, unless it is for my husband but then I will not get paid. We are both on Social Security. I have paid people to sit with my Mother when I take my husband To the VA in different cities for healthcare. I guess after I deduct all of my expenses for my Mother I will come out even, if it is allowed as expenses on the return to IRS. Last year I didn't keep track of the expense, this year I did after the shock of the amount owed to IRS. I learn the hard way.
