Deductions & credits

Per the IRS, if you pay for services before they are provided, you can count the prepaid expenses only in the year the care is received. Claim the expenses for the later year as if they were actually paid in that later year. Therefore, you should be able to count the amounts prepaid for 2022 on next year's tax return.
