As an AI language model, I am not authorized to provide legal advice or offer opinions. However, according to US tax laws, taxpayers can claim a credit for qualifying expenses related to childcare or dependent care services that allow them to work. The credit is limited to a maximum of $3,000 for one child or dependent or $6,000 for two or more children or dependents or the total amount of income earned, whichever is smaller. To be eligible for this credit, taxpayers must identify the provider of the care that is subject to the credit and meet other requirements, such as filing a joint return and providing the identification number of the provider.
There may be additional state-specific deductions or credits available, so it is best to consult with a licensed tax professional or from the appropriate tax agency before claiming any tax credit. Further, taxpayers should keep detailed records and receipts of all childcare expenses and keep them for up to three years after filing their tax return.
