Child Care Tax Credit? Get Bigger Deduction via Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

Looking to maximize your refund with the Federal Child Care Tax Credit, or Child Care Tax Deductions? Rather than claiming your expenses on IRS Form 1040, consider pre-taxing your 2009 or 2010 income instead.

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) generates additional tax savings for your childcare, and daycare expenses - often $1,030 or more annually.

Get out your calculator, or power up your spreadsheet and begin working through four key dependent care flexible spending account factors: childcare expenses eligible for tax deductions, the number of eligible children, the 6 ways an FSA cuts taxes, and your federal income tax bracket and your adjusted gross income (AGI).

1- Child Care Expenses Eligible for Tax Deductions Many parents miss out on considerable tax savings by failing to claim all their eligible child care expenses. Day care and preschool costs obviously qualify. Don't forget about these extra expenses, and important rules.

2 - Number of Children in Childcare The number of children in child care determines the amount you can claim in expenses on your taxes. The limit for the child care tax credit differs from the dependent care flexible spending account (FSA). Make sure you apply the rules correctly to maximize your deductions.

3 - Flexible Spending Account Cuts Taxes in 6 Ways A Flexible Spending Account can save you Federal Income, Payroll, and State Income taxes. There may also be hidden tax savings on Alternative Minimum Tax, Child Tax Credit, and Education Tax Credits

4 - Your Federal Income Tax Bracket & AGI Your Federal Income Tax Bracket and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) are important figures to know when determining how to maximize your child care tax deductions. See how these come into play.

FSA Cuts Costs of Banking Cord Blood The costs of banking or storing your baby's umbilical cord blood may be tax deductible - cutting these fees by 1/3 or more. But these costs are not always deductible. And you may not gain any real tax savings unless you use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Read more to learn why.
