Summer Day Camp Expenses – Did You Know?

Parents who paid for their children under the age of 13 to attend summer day camps may qualify to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit on their tax returns. This credit provides assistance for parents who pay care expenses for a qualifying child so that they can work or seek work. You may also be able to claim the credit for day camp or other care costs for a dependent age 13 or older with a permanent disability. Note that expenses associated with sending children to overnight summer camps generally do NOT qualify for this credit.

To qualify for the Child and Dependent Care Credit, you must have earned income, and your adjusted gross income (AGI) must not exceed limits set by the IRS. Typically, the credit covers 20-35% of qualifying day camp or other childcare expenses, up to a maximum of $3,000 for one child or $6,000 for two or more children.

When claiming the Child and Dependent Care Credit, you generally must provide the name and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of the day camp or care provider on your tax return. In most cases, married taxpayers must file a joint return in order to get the credit, although exceptions exist for cases where spouses live apart. A tax professional can help you determine whether your summer day camp or other childcare expenses qualify for this valuable credit, and if so, help you maximize your credit amount.
