Requests for School Tax ID Number – Childcare Credit

As you begin to make preparations to complete your 2013 taxes, please note that the school is not authorized to release the tax ID number. In the IRS childcare credit publication, p. 8, the IRS tells the taxpayer to write in “tax-exempt” when it is a church or school program. Please share this information with your accountants, if applicable.
