16 year old dependent child was committed to rehab center for 6 weeks. Child had drug dependency and could not care for herself.  Single parent could not take care of her and continue to work.  Part of expense of rehab center was paid by insurance but parent had to pay a substantial amount as well.  The facility did not break down expenses as to what was care, education, medical, etc. Can parent take child and dependent care credit for his out of pocket expense?  Should the expense be prorated based on services provided?
