Sister nannying - tax question

[Anonymous]

We have my sister living with us and nannying for my son. I know you don't have to withhold taxes for parents that watch kids, but what siblings? FWIW, I had planned on it, but someone said it wasn't required...need ground truth.

Not true.

Relatives do not have to be taxed.

Thank you for the link, 9:34. It's amazing how adamant some people are here, when they have no clue what they're talking about.
