The following diagnostic is generating:
Child care provider # {PrefixNum} : Identifying number missing. Either enter the ID number, or make an entry in "Taxpayer is unable to find the provider to get the identification number as provider has moved", or "Provider refuses to provide the identification number".
Solution:
Form 2441 instructions include: If the care provider is an individual, enter his or her SSN. Otherwise, enter the provider's employer identification number (EIN). If the provider is a tax-exempt organization, enter “Tax-Exempt” in column (c). U.S. citizens and resident aliens living abroad. If you are living abroad, your care provider may not have, and may not be required to get, a U.S. taxpayer identification number (for example, an SSN or EIN). If so, enter “LAFCP” (Living Abroad Foreign Care Provider) in the space for the care provider's taxpayer identification number.
