Can daycare be used as a tax deduction?

No, taking care of yourself and family are personal expenses paid with after tax money. I agree, but you could be eligible for a child tax credit: A taxpayer who has a dependent child under age 17 probably qualifies for the child tax credit. This credit, which can be as much as $1,000 per eligible child, is in addition to the regular $3,500 exemption claimed for each dependent. A change in the way the credit is figured means that more low- and moderate-income families will qualify for the full credit on their 2008 returns. The child tax credit is not the same as the child care credit. Details on figuring and claiming the child tax credit can be found in IRS Publication 972 (PDF format).

What is the income requirement to be claimed as a dependent?

There are two types of dependents: Qualifying Child and Qualifying Relative. There's no income requirement specified for being claimed as a Qualifying Child. Instead, the person claiming the Qualifying Child provides over half of the child's support. A child who isn't eligible as a Qualifying Child may meet the requirements of Qualifying Relative. There's a gross income requirement of less than $3,500.00 in 2008 ($3,650.00 in 2009) for Qualifying Relative, in addition to receiving over half of his/her support from the person claiming the dependent exemption. For more information, go online at www.irs.gov/formspubs. Select Publication Number. Enter 501 to read/print Publication 501 (Exemptions, Standard Deduction and Filing Information.

A younger child would be more appreciative of a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. That is, if one is referring to today's society.

Therefore, anything that would promote quality time between the younger and older children would be appreciated.

How much does your gross income have to be to get the child's tax credit and does unemployment count as gross income?

The Child Tax Credit is $1,000 for each of your dependent children that you are claiming that are 16 or younger. It doesn't have anything to do with gross income. This credit is nonrefundable, so it can only reduce your tax to zero. If your tax is less than this credit (see worksheet in IRS instructions), you will only claim enough of the credit to reduce your tax to zero & you may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit. The Additional Child Tax Credit is refundable (you can get money back if it's more than your taxes). It can be affected by your income. If the Child Tax Credit worksheet directs you to this credit, use IRS Form 8812 & instructions to see how much to claim. The total claimed on the line for Child Tax Credit & Additional Child Tax Credit cannot be more than $1,000 for each dependent child age 16 or younger. Yes, unemployment is part of gross income. However, it is not earned income.
