Deductions & credits

Did you claim your mom as a dependent on your 2023 tax return?

 

Did you pay someone to take care of your mom so that you could work?  That is what the childcare and dependent care credit is for.  

 

Did you enter income from working before you tried to work on the dependent care credit?  You cannot get the credit if you have not entered a W-2 or self-employment income that does not show a loss.
