Credit for child and dependent care expenses. I pay my oldest daughter (15yrs) to watch my two youngest (8yrs, 10yrs) when me and my wife are at work. Can I claim this?

Everyone lives in the same house.

No.  You cannot claim the childcare credit when the childcare provider is someone you can claim as your dependent.
