A parent told me that they did not get any refund for the childcare expense that they claimed on form 2441. I asked her to read the info from form 2441 when she read my name address and SSN then the wrong amount, she mentioned two kids but I took care of only one (contract is the evidence).

I really like the chlid but I told them that today is the last day that I would do business with them.

I appreciate your respond. Fortunately I kept good records and I can prove what amount I received from him. Also I have Contracts with parents, which shows the amount for the childcare. Because of this incident I would like to send a letter to all parents regarding to stop using my SSN number for claiming the child care expense, instead I will provide new Tax ID. Also I would like to provide new W-9 that would include the amount that is actually paid for childcare services. If I knew this would happen I would have verify the amount with each parent. Do you think this is a good idea? Also I would like to mention in the letter that who reports wrong amount will not be able to claim child care expenses in the future years when they get audited.

I provided my information (including SSN) on W-9 to a parent so he could claim childcare expenses on his tax return. Accidentally I found that he claimed more than he paid me for child care services. I requested him to file an amended tax return and correct the wrong amount, but he refused. What should I do in order to protect my SSN from parents who report wrong amounts by using my SSN? I do have contract with a parent, which included the child car service fee agreement. Thanks,
