Qualified Expenses for Child and Dependent Care
The IRS defines qualified expenses for child and dependent care as expenses that are necessary to allow you and your spouse, if filing jointly, to work or look for work.
The expenses must be for the care of a qualifying individual, which includes a dependent child under the age of 13, a spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care, or a dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
The qualified expenses for child and dependent care in 2023 and 2024 include:

2. Babysitters or nanny services
3. After-school care programs
4. Summer day camps
5. Overnight camps (if the camp is primarily for care and not education)
