Summertime Child and Dependent Day Care

1. The cost of sending your child or dependent to a day camp may count as an expense towards your child and dependent care credit, even if the camp specializes in a particular sport or activity.

2. The overnight cost of sending your child or dependent to an overnight camp is NOT considered a work related expense and will NOT count towards your child and dependent care credit. Get the camp to separately state the care aspect of the daytime cost on the invoice.

The following publication will help with other day-care questions.

IRS Publication 503
