Deductions & credits

If the daycare was fully paid for by an agency then there is no deduction or credit allowed as you did not pay any of the cost yourself.  If there was only a partial payment that did not exceed the maximum you can claim per child of $3,000, then there would be a dependent care credit up to the $3,000 limit.  The instructions per the IRS for Form 2441 is in the link below.
