@Opus 17 I hadn't even thought of qualifying for this deduction until a friend found out I wasn't taking it & implied that I should be. Would this deduction apply where one parents works full time & the other parent is disabled? I'm not a "stay at home Mom" but I am not able to work. My Mom & Mother-in-Law help out a couple days a week then we send her to a Mother's Day Out program 3 days a week/4 hrs each day. Under these circumstances, would the cost of her child care be deductible? I do spend that time taking care of doctor appointments, handling any disability related business, and tending to anything medical related. Thank you for any advice/information you can offer!
