Deductions & credits

That would be correct if you have one qualifying child and are in the 20% level - See Dependent Care Credit.  You can look at Form 2441 to see how the credit was calculated.   

 

The Child and Dependent Care Credit is worth as much as 35% of your qualified expenses, up to $3,000, (for one qualifying person), and $6,000 (for two or more qualifying persons). Your percentage depends on your AGI, with the higher percentages applying to lower incomes and vice-versa.
