Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You can use the dependent care credit for expenses paid to any caregiver, including most relatives, but not if the caregiver is your spouse or another one of your dependents.
To report the expense and claim the credit, you will need the caregiver's SSN, and the IRS will be looking to that person's tax return to see if they report matching taxable income.
