Year End Statement Information

1. Why do I need to request my Year End Statement, isn't KinderCare required by law to provide this information?

   The Year End Statement that is provided by KinderCare Learning Centers is not a legal document, but rather a courtesy statement, which is sent to parents at their request. We do not fall into the category of being required to provide a Year End Statement and/or legal proof of payment 1099 Federal Reporting Criteria is as follows:
   1. Any person, including a corporation, partnership, individual, estate, and trust, who make reportable transactions during the calendar year, must file the appropriate information returns to report those transactions. In addition, the person must also provide a statement to the recipient of the reportable income or to the other party involved in the reportable transaction.
   2. Payments to Corporations: In general, payments to corporations are not reportable. However, several types of payments made to corporations are reportable on a 1099-MISC. Reportable payments to corporations are:
      1. Medical and health care payments
      2. Attorney's fees
      3. Gross proceeds paid to attorneys
      4. Fish purchases for cash
      5. Payments by a federal executive agency for services
      6. Substitute payments in lieu of dividends or tax-exempt interest

2. Why can't I have this statement mailed to me like other organizations?

   The Year End Statement that is provided by KinderCare Learning Centers is not a legal document, but rather a courtesy statement, which is given to parents. These are not mailed to families currently in attendance at the center. For families not attending a center, fax is the preferred method.

3. Shouldn't you correct the name or amount for me?

   We do not report individual parent payments to the IRS. The document we provide is a courtesy statement only; the best representation of what you have paid in child care expenses are copies of your cancelled checks, your bank or debit/credit statement or money order receipts, which we encourage parents to keep for further reference.
