We only received 20% of our child and dependent care credit. Why would we not receive the normal 35%?

[Rachel_W · Accepted solution]

The credit percentage used for the Child & Dependent Care Credit ranges from 20% to 35% of your qualified expenses based on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). For AGI over $43,000 the credit percentage is 20%.
