Deductions & credits
I should also point out (something that should have been mentioned before), just because your spouse receives disability income does not, by itself, qualify you to claim dependent care expenses.
Your spouse must be unable to care for themselves (and therefore unable to care for your child) so that it is necessary for you to put the child in daycare so that you can work. If your spouse can care for themself, then you don’t qualify to claim the dependence care credit even though your spouse may have a medical disability.
The tax code definition of disabled is not necessarily the same as the definition of disabled for SSDI or other forms of disability insurance.
