Hi all,
My Mom and sister are currently living with me. My mother does not
work, she stays home to take care of my kids while my husband and I
work full time. My sister is disabled.
Besides paying all household expenses, I also give my mother $500.00 a
month for babysitting my kids. So I wanted to know:
1. Does that money qualify for dependent expenses ?
2. If I claim it as dependent expenses, does my Mom have to report it
for tax return.
3. If she needs to report it, what should it be ? misc income or self-
employed.
4. With my sister being disabled, who could claim her as a dependent ?
my Mom or me ?
5. Or can I claim both my Mom and my sister as my dependents ?

Please advice or any other suggestion with this situation.
Thank you so much.

For better answers, I think you should also mention whether if you are
a US citizen or on a temporary visa? How about your Mom, disabled
sister and your Husband. Are they US Citizens
