My enrollment material says my dependent daycare expenses must be “work-related”. What constitutes a “work-related” expense?
Dependent care expenses must be incurred to enable you (and your spouse if married) to work or look for work. Work may include actively looking for work but does not include unpaid volunteer work, or volunteer work for a nominal salary. Your spouse is considered to have worked if he or she is a full-time student for at least five calendar months during the tax year, or if he or she is physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
