Reimbursment for a baby sitter

[Rai401k]

What proof is required before a claim for a baby sitter is processed. It is my understanding you need a federal ID numberand a paid reciept for a Day Care. I am not clear the rules for a baby sitter

As long as the employment of the babysitter allows the employee (and spouse, if applicable) to work, then these expenses are allowed (basically, all other DCAP rules must be followed, as well). You should need only the name and SSN from the babysitter, as well as some sort of receipt given to the babysitter showing the date of service, the name of the dependent, and the dollar amount of the services. A copy of the cancelled check as proof of payment may also be required.
