Please note that when it comes to the end of year taxes or FSA reports, we share UrbanSitter’s records or EIN in correlation to the fees paid directly to UrbanSitter. It is our understanding that to claim caregiver hours and the payment made for tax or FSA reimbursement purposes, you will need to obtain the SSN of the caregivers and caregivers would need to provide that to you on an individual basis. Per UrbanSitter’s Terms of Service, Transactions exist solely between users. We are not involved in the transactions between caregivers and families.
