TP had caregivers go to a nursing home and stay with her dad to keep him company.  Should they receive a 1099-M thru the estate ID# or her dads SS#?

Caregiver providing personal services to dad - he should be the payor (and get the medical deduction).  IF funds came out of estate funds, perhaps that should be treated as a distribution from Estate to Dad followed by payment from dad to caregiver

Been there, done that. They were called Companions. Couldn't feed, just encourage eating. Did nothing but talk and keep company. I wouldn't consider them healthcare.

Businesses issue 1099-MISCs, not individuals.  Neither dad or the estate need to issue a 1099-MISC.
