Only the custodial parent is entitled to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit. A noncustodial parent may not claim a Child Care Credit for expenses incurred, even if that parent is entitled to claim the exemption for the child. The parent who has custody for the longer period of time during the year is considered the custodial parent.
