Taxmap/pubs/p926-008.htm#TXMP77e6637d Can You Claim a Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses?

Child and Dependent Care Credit

If your household employee cares for your dependent who is under age 13 or for your spouse or dependent who is not capable of self-care, you may be able to take an income tax credit of up to 35% of your expenses. To qualify, you must pay these expenses so you can work or look for work. If you can take the credit, you can include in your qualifying expenses your share of the federal and state employment taxes you pay, as well as the employee's wages. For information about the credit, see Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.
