Babysitter (Niece) received 5071c letter. Never Filed A Return

My niece watches my two kids some days to help us out while we work. I claimed this amount (roughly $2,500) when I filed my return. This was her only income and well below the $12,550 minimum so she didn’t file a return. Today she received a 5071c letter asking her to verify her ID because the IRS suspected someone used her info to file a fraudulent return. Could this be a result of me listing her on my return or something else? It says failure to verify could result in a delay of her receiving her refund (which she won’t have) and I’ve already received my return. Just trying to see if this is because of me or if someone got ahold of her info.

Lol you 1099ed your niece babysitting????

Fairly sure she owes SE tax. Anything over 600 bucks so you putting her info out there raised the flag.

If you did this to my kid, I’d be more than pissed.

Ok, so maybe I fricked up. I thought as long as income was below the standard deduction no return was required? So she has to file a return when she only made $2500??

If she owes anything at all, you need to pay it. That was downright stupid of you ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconspank.gif)

You better pay that girl what she has to pay to Uncle Sam, and you better pay it in cash. Side-hustles like baby sitting can be considered self employment, and the minimum reporting amount is $400, if my quick google-fu is correct.

There are some exceptions to the gross income filing requirement. The most common one is self-employment. If you have any self-employment income, such as freelancing, gig work or any "side hustles," this income is usually reported on a 1099-MISC form. You may not receive a 1099-MISC form in some cases. Regardless, you need to file a tax return if your net income for the year (income after self-employment related expenses) was at least $400.

Why the hell did you claim $2500 in babysitting, let alone from your niece?
Posted on 6/17/22 at 6:30 pm to GAFF
Definitely something Id expect from a bama fan.

Bro. Give her another 2500 cash and tell her you have her covered for anymore. Why would you claim that on your taxes? you should pay for her college for being dumb AF.
EDIT - Sorry. just noticed you are a bama fan. So you probably could amend your return and claim you sister as your wife and the niece as dependent child of yours. huge refund incoming then.

Just out of curiosity - could you walk us through EXACTLY how that conversation with your sister went? Please don't leave out any details.

Don’t listen to these people. Kids need to learn the hard way that the IRS will frick them. You did your niece a solid by letting the IRS frick her over. Great job.
