dependant care credit?
I have a baby sitter outside the home that watches my kids while i work. She has been for the last 7 years. In 2014, i started working for a company that allowed me to put money in a fsa card for child expenses. I put $960 in it and used $888. Now i am filing my taxes and i am required to fill out form 2441. Which i have no problem doing because i know i used that money for childcare. However, the babysitter i use does not claim taxes on this income. I know i must have her give me her social but i do not want her to end up owing taxes. what can i do? do i have to include box 10 on my taxes? Any advise is accepted!

Yes you have to fill out the 2441. Otherwise the $960 becomes taxable income.
You don't have a choice. Why would you pay more in tax just to let her evade paying hers?

if you want the tax credit then you're going to have to include her SS# or tax id.
that she doesn't claim taxes isn't your problem, that's between her & the IRS.
if she won't give it to you then you can still claim the credit by proving you tried to get the number
