Certification Warm Up: Question 3 of 5

Barb and Adam have been divorced for 5 years. They have two children, Carol, age 6, and Patty, age 11. The children live with Barb except for one weekend a month plus one full month during summer vacation, which they spend with their father. Adam can claim the girls as dependents because Barb signed Form 8332. Barb works full-time and the girls go to church day care in the morning and evening. She pays St. John's Day Care $260 a week. She has the name and address of the day care, but they are tax exempt and she does not have a taxpayer ID.

Refer to the Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses screening sheet in the Volunteer Resource Guide, Tab G, Nonrefundable Credits.
