Can elderly day care payments be claimed as a deduction?
Elderly day care payments may qualify as Child and Dependent Care Expenses. In order to be a qualifying person, the person receiving the elderly day care must be either your spouse who was physically or mentally not able to care for himself or your dependent who was physically not able to care for himself and for whom you can claim an exemption (or could claim an exemption except the person had $2,800 or more of gross income in the year 2000). All of the other criteria for claiming the Child and Dependent Care Credit must also be met.
