 So this time would say no, that's not the case if it was yes, then no credit Okay, so were your payments made to your spouse or to the part to to the parent of Your qualifying person who is your qualifying child and under age 13? So generally you can't make the payment to a spouse or to the parent of your qualifying person Who is your qualifying child under age 13? So the answer would have to be no there to be continuing on Next were your payments made to your child who was under the age of 19 at the end of the year So again, that's kind of like you're paying it to a family member So if your family member is now dependent they're a child I mean independent their child they're doing their own thing now Then maybe that would you know that could be a different situation But obviously if they're still you know a dependent child Then you would think that would be a funny situation You'd be paying them which you might do anyways and then trying to get a credit for the payment that you would made to the child Which seems to not quite be right. So once again were your payments made to your child who was under the age of 19 at The end of the year would have say no we're going to continue on are you single? So here's where it gets a little bit messy down here So our are you single if yes, we can continue down below if no We're gonna continue to the to the right-hand side. Let's continue. Let's go with yes being single first So we're gonna say are you single we'll say yes, and then next one Do you know the care provider's name address and identification number now? Hopefully the answer there is yes, you know who you know who's doing the care You know their name address and identification number if it's somebody that if it's a care taking facility They should give you that in the form of an EIN if not it should be a social security number generally So normally you would be going down to here Did you have more than one qualifying person if the answer is yes? You may be able to claim the child and dependent care credit fill out form 2 4 4 1 But if the answer is no Then the question is are you excluding or deducting at least? 3000 of dependent care benefits because if you're excluding them if they're not being included in income Then if you also took the credit for it, you'd kind of be double-dipping in that situation So if the answer is no once again You may be able to claim the child and dependent care credit if the answer is yes You can't claim the credit alright Let's move back up here and then imagine now we're going from single to Saying no, we're not single and then the next question is are you filing a joint return? So if the answer is yes, we continue on as we generally would if the answer is no You've got that married filing separate situation because if you're married you can only file joint or separate usually So do you meet the requirements to be considered unmarried? So in other words a situation where you're kind of like Separated because if you're filing married filing separate normally you wouldn't be able to claim the credit So if the answer is no to that then you're filing married filing separate in most circumstances You can't claim the child tax credit if you say yes to that then we go down Do you have the care provider's name addressed and so on if you're filing married filing joint? Then we're going to go down to this question again Do you know the care provider's name address and so on and then move down this the structure? We saw before if yes, we're going to go down here Did you have more than one qualifying person and so on and so forth? It's the same from that point on down
