Child and Dependent Care Credit Question

[photoman]

I have a MFJ couple that we have one spouse working with W-2 and the other spouse goes to college . She has no W-2 but is extending her education. Is there any way to get any of the credit for daycare expenses since she is attending college, but has no earned income as of yet.

Yes... There is an amount you can input for the parent that is attending college. Forget but think it may be 500 dollars a month for the time she is in school. It may be less. Check instructions for form 2441.

Thanks Very Much
