I also have a twist to this topic. We prepaid child care expenses in October of 2023 since our area is also very competitive. The contract does say non refundable, but unfortunately the wonderful lady we had set up to provide care for our child passed away unexpectedly in early February of 2024. Would this be deductible for 2023 expenses or would we wait until next year even though our child didn't receive care from her? Or is there a way to get our money back from the state or something?
