Child Care Expenses

[susie111]

Hi Ya,

I'm doing alot of researching before filing. I send $800 a month for child care. $500 for my new born and another $300 for my kid who is in school most of the day but he is being pick up and watch for a few hours everyday. On the expense form I'm suprised that there were no place for child care. I of course have reciepts for the service. This should count as expense RIGHT? I can't even find child care expense on the IRS website. Please if you have any info regarding this let me know.

Thanks

Ours was listed on line 17 of schedule J under other and then listed out.

I know it is allowed however I'm not much help with your question.
