Child Care Expenses When Caring for Infirm Parent

Post by cullen »

If a spouse stays home to care for an infirm parent who is also a dependent and needs child care to free her up, are those expenses allowed? I only see exceptions for school or when the spouse themselves are incarcerated, or have an impairment. I guess that is why there is a caregiver amount

Thanks in advance
Joe
