Are they disabled, and you must pay someone to stay with them while you work?
They are not disabled. I believe I read in the TurboTax documentation that they were disabled OR at least 62 years old. Is that not correct?
You must have paid someone else to care for them.

Qualified services include:
Services must be from an organization or individual that is not related to the taxpayer or the family member.
Thank you!
They may be your tax dependents, if you provide more than half their support AND their taxable income is less than $4300.
Then the "dependent care" credit is for when you pay for care services for someone who is your dependent, and who is unable to care for themself, so that you can go to work (and your spouse if you file jointly).
So the dependent care credit is something additional from just claiming them as dependents.
