Child and Dependent Care Expenses

If your child is your dependent and is under the age of 13, you may be able to take an income tax credit of up to 30 percent of your expenses. To qualify for the credit, you must incur these expenses in order to work or look for work. In addition to your nanny's wages, you can claim the federal and state taxes you pay as qualified expenses. For more information about this credit, see IRS Publication 530, Child and Dependent Care Credit.
