I was hired as a private sitter, now the son wants social security numbers from the sitters, they were told it was not claimed by the family in the beginning. The lady is 95 years old and does file taxes because of large amounts of interest earned. No one was given a 1099 at the end of January, now it is the middle of Feb. and everyone has filed there taxes. Please help me get this answer

Sitters are not deductible, only medical help. On the other hand sitters are reported as household employees and the employer must do withholding and FICA taxes. You should have received a W-2 and filled out a W-4.
