Deductions & credits

@Beckyevreniadis can you please reference an IRS source that supports your statement?

 

Much appreciated in advance. 

 

The original question related to child and dependent care credit, but I sense you are now turning that into a medical expense deduction?  either way, a IRS link that supports your statement would be great!

 

Please note that on page 2, the provider of the service must be a medical professional for a medical service to be a deductible medical expense.  I don't see that a music teacher, without medical credentials, would even begin to qualify the expense as deductible.

"These expenses include payments for legal medical services rendered by physicians, surgeons, dentists, and other medical practitioners."
