Only expenses for someone to watch your child would qualify, such as daycare, babysitting or after-school care. I'm not sure what you mean by receiving 337 not 500 for dependent.</P> Wed, 16 Feb 2022 04:12:07 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-what-if-i-paid-for-medical-expenses-for-my-dependent-is-that-included-in-child-or-dependent/01/2484402#M235697 ThomasM125 2022-02-16T04:12:07Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-what-if-i-paid-for-medical-expenses-for-my-dependent-is-that-included-in-child-or-dependent/01/2484530#M235713 <P>Thank you.
