What is Form 2441?

Form 2441 figures the Child and Dependent Care Credit, which offsets part of what you spend on care for a qualifying child or dependent so you (and a spouse, if married) can work. Part I identifies the care provider(s) with their name, address and taxpayer ID; Part II computes the credit from your qualifying expenses, the number of qualifying persons and your earned income; Part III handles employer-provided dependent care benefits. The provider TIN and expense amounts drive the credit, so they must be right. JustFill lets you complete the 2441 online so each provider and figure is clearly entered before you attach it to Form 1040.
