The IRS considers income from watching a grandchild as self-employment. The individual should file a schedule C for business income, and pay self-employment tax on the income earned.
Boyfriend no...Your grandchild, naybe.
Maybe. If your boyfriend lived with you the entire year, and there is no local law against your cohabitation, and his income was less that $3,500 (in 2008), and you provided over half of his total support for the year, you may claim him as your dependent. If your grandchild lived with you over 1/2 the year, and was under age 19 on December 31, or under age 24 and a full-time student, or any age and permanently and totally disabled, and you provided over 1/2 of his or her support for the year, you may claim him as your dependent.

Yes, if you are required to purchase uniforms to wear for your job, such as scrubs, there is a deduction you can claim on your income tax forms.
I forgot to claim one of my income when I filed my 2006 income taxes. It is now 2008 and the IRS is slapping me with an interest and penalty charges. Can I file the missed income/W-2 on my next years (2009) income tax?
There are four items to be met: 1. Relationship - Are they related to you? Yes, as a grandchild. 2. Residency - They live with you more than 50% of the time. 3. Age - They are under 19 years old (or 24 if enrolled full time in school for at least 5 months) at the end of the year. 4. Support - They do not cover more than 50% of their own costs (working or investment income).
Unemployment income does not effect your dependents and your ability to claim them on your return. As long as you meet the other requirement to claim your children then you can certainly claim them.
