Respite Care Grant from Charitable Organization - Taxable? Self-Employment Tax? I received a 1099-MISC form from a charity which provided a total of $940 as reimbursement for respite care services for my special needs children so my wife and I could have a break. Apparently this type of grant money is taxable, which is annoying but whatever.
Respite basically means giving you a break from your caring responsibilities. You will be assessed for entitlement to respite, and you should then be given direct payments so you can arrange the respite care that best meets your needs. You'll need to keep records of how the money is spent. If you use direct payments to pay a care worker, you're taking on the legal role of an employer.
