Single parent filing as Head of household. I took the Child care credit for $1349 of expenses. Software allowed the credit. Child was 14 on November 26, 2018. I thought the child had to be under the age of 13 for the credit. Is there something wrong with the software? or is there another set of facts available that I am missing?.
I didn't at first. I entered the data for the child being 14, and the software is still allowing the credit, so I am wondering if there is another provision
It's up to the preparer to apply the rules. The software allows me to enter a million dollars worth of charitable contributions, that doesn't mean the taxpayer is entitled to them.
