Deductions & credits

@dpatel1788-gmail , having read the responses from my colleagues, @VolvoGirl , @NCperson  whom I agree with, just wondering if you meant  " child and dependent care' and not claiming your parents  as dependent ( the exemption being currently zero ).  If so you are trying to pay someone to look after your child/children-- they will have to declare that earning and be taxed on it.  Furthermore, the  "caretaker" must be authorized to work -- I am assuming that your  parents are just visiting you  and not Green Card holder .  IMHO
