The American economy is currently on the verge of a recession as a result of the effects of 2022. Gas prices in the United States reached all-time highs in June, while the previous year was blighted by rogue inflation levels.
The lockdown measures used to combat COVID, which resulted in supply chain disruptions during the first half of the year, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which prompted the imposition of sanctions on Russian oil imports, were identified as the two main causes of the cost of living crisis that engulfed the US.
A growing number of people were compelled to participate in assistance programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as a result of the rising cost of living, particularly those from middle-class and low-income households (SNAP).
In truth, it has never been more expensive to raise a family in the US, especially with the insistence of employers that workers return to the office and the rising expense of child care. This indicates that people using the Child and Dependent Care credit program are found all around the US.
What is the Child and Dependent Care Credit?
In a nutshell, the Child and Dependent Care Credit is an IRS-approved tax credit that assists qualified citizens in paying for the care of qualified children and other dependents.
One’s income level and the percentage of costs expended for caring for the dependent are taken into account to determine the amount of the final tax credit they may be eligible for.
Criteria for Eligibility
One must not earn more than $43,000 and have a child under the age of 13 to be qualified for the Child and Dependant Care Credits. In addition, the following additional requirements must be met to be eligible for dependent credits when caring for an adult:
A partner who is unable of taking care of themselves due to illness or incapacity
Any adult who is physically or mentally unable to care for himself and who you can list as a dependent on your tax return.
