Video Tips: Don't Miss Out on the Childcare Tax Credit

A tax credit is available to some taxpayers for the expenses they incur for the care of a child, spouse, or other dependent while the taxpayer is gainfully employed (or is job seeking). In addition, employer dependent care assistance programs allow employees to exclude from income certain payments expended for child and dependent care. Tax return reporting is done on Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.
