You cannot get the child and dependent care credit on your federal tax return unless both spouses show income earned from working. If your spouse does not work, then you might get the credit if the spouse is either disabled or a full-time student. If the spouse is not disabled, not a student, and is just a stay-at-home parent, sorry, no childcare credit.
