Alright, I'm partially at fault, I don't have a w-2 for my wife. She did start an event planning business this past year. We setup an s-corp but between expenses and low revenue, didn't file payroll. However... the IRS states:
"You may be eligible to claim the child and dependent care credit if:
- You paid expenses for the care of a qualifying individual to enable you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) to work or actively look for work."
that seems super wide open... "looking for work" is for sure what we would like to claim... but turbotax doesn't seem to care about this... just if there is a W-2 in her name or not?
