So sorry---but there are no deductions for your situation. You parents are not claimed as your dependents on your tax return. You cannot claim anything for the personal expenses of traveling to help them. And, no, there is not a a credit for caregiving. The child and dependent care credit is only used when you pay someone to take care of your dependent so that you can work. That does not apply to your situation either.
