I'm not sure that you'll be eligible for this tax break. Unless I'm not reading the rules correctly, your business only qualifies for a credit if:

1. You pay to build a dependent care facility on your premises

2. You incur expenses in connection with operating your day care facility

3. You enter into a contract with a qualified child care facility to provide care on behalf of your staff.


So I guess my first question to you would be if you would even qualify for this tax credit.

Maybe i am reading it incorrectly. My understanding is that money paid to an "entity" who is providing childcare for an employee is deductible under this credit. I know of several employers that put money for their employee's childcare expenses into a flex account. I do not believe that they would be doing it if they didnt get a tax break. Again my wife's corporation has no other employees and would be perfect for paying the nanny. I have also posed this question to my tax attorney and accountant (have not heard back from them yet). If two of the three of you feel that this credit is fruitless, I will give it up and use my time for something more constructive. Thank you very much for your time.
