If I paid childcare expenses in 2019 for care in 2020, do I deduct them on my 2019 return? (I paid for an after-school club in Dec 19, but it didn't start until Jan 20.)

Deductions & credits

You will claim the child care expenses as if they were paid during 2020. Prepaid child care expenses are deducted in the year the child care is received.
