Deductions & credits

Thank you! Yes my spouse did not work in 2024. But she was actively looking for a job. Wouldn't that be enough to qualify for a credit if we are Married filing jointly? I paid for my 4 year-old's child care to someone other than my spouse.

It says in order to qualify, I must meet this criteria:You paid caregiving expenses so that you (and your spouse, if filing jointly) could work or look for work.

 

Thanks
