Best Answer

You figure your child/dependent care credit on up to $3,000 actual expenses for one child/dependent or up to $6,000 actual expenses for two or more children/dependents. Form 2441 is Child and Dependent Care Expenses. The amount of the credit is entered on line 48 (Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses) of Form 1040 or on line 29 of Form 1040A.

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 503 (Child and Dependent Care Expenses). Also go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 503 (Child and Dependent Care Expenses).
