PROVIDER IDENTIFICATION TEST
You must identify all persons or organizations that provide care for your child or dependent. Use Part I of Form 2441 to show the information.
Information needed. To identify the care provider, you must give the provider's:
Name,
Address, and
Taxpayer identification number.
If the care provider is an individual, the taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number or individual taxpayer identification number. If the care provider is an organization, then it is the employer identification number (EIN). You do not have to show the taxpayer identification number if the care provider is a tax-exempt organization (such as a church or school). In this case, enter "Tax-Exempt" in the space where the tax form calls for the number. If you cannot provide all of the information or the information is incorrect, you must be able to show that you used Due diligence (discussed later) in trying to furnish the necessary information.
Getting the information. You can use Form W-10, Dependent Care Provider's Identification and Certification, to request the required information from the care provider. If you do not use Form W-10, you can get the information from one of the other sources listed in the instructions for Form W-10, including:
A copy of the provider's social security card,
A copy of the provider's completed Form W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, if he or she is your household employee,
A copy of the statement furnished by your employer if the provider is your employer's dependent care plan, or
A letter or invoice from the provider if it shows the necessary information.
