By the way, you really should have filed a W-2 and paid her social security and medicare taxes for her.
She would not pass the tests for independent contractor.
You were here only client.
The work had to be done when and where you wanted it done.
You made things complicated.
Now they will look closely at your return too.

I used Turbo Tax. It asked if I paid child care. All I did was fill in the blanks on the app. Had I known it would AFFECT her I wouldn’t have done it. If anyone wants to actually help me out instead of berating me I’d appreciate it. Does she need to file a 1040 and show the $2500? Is it another form for self employment? Any other options besides her filing?

Eh... it's a babysitting service. Generally you can only work when your customer requests you to work. If you run a babysitting service, you can't show up when you want to babysit my kids.
Now you certainly can decline the opportunity and therefore set your own hours and terms.

It’s been a long time since I had small kids, but I thought you to have daycare outside of your home in order to qualify for a deduction. If she provided daycare at your home, I thought you couldn’t take a deduction. I can’t believe the OP would claim that $2,500 as a deduction and not realize that he made it taxable income for his niece.

Sounds like he made her an employee like a maid or nanny.
