My spouse is a distributor for a health and beauty company. Commissions only. No hourly rate or salary. Can I claim the dependent care credit for a stay at home mom?
Can I claim tax credit for the time she spends taking care of my child while she doesn't have a consistent source of income and staying home to care for my child.

No. A parent never qualifies as a care provider for their own child. In addition, both spouses must work to be able to claim child care.
