Your right to claim your child depends on your individual situation and what has happened before tax season. Claiming a child on your taxes as an exemption reduces your taxable income and saves you money. The exemption for this tax year is $3,400. You may be able to claim other tax benefits from your dependents.
Expenses for child care may be deductible on your personal income taxes. If you qualify, you may claim a federal tax credit of 20% to 35% of your annual child care costs. You can claim up to $3,000 of expenses for one dependent, and $6,000 for two or more dependents.Youâll find the rate schedule in IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.) For example, if you and your husband paid a nanny $10,000 per year to care for your three children after school, youâd be allowed to claim $6,000 of those expenses (the maximum you could claim for two or more children).
