I spent 12k bucks in 2012 on child care.
I got a 1200 deduction.

WTF?
Does that sound right?


The maximum amount of expenses that can be used for two or more children is $6,000. Once adjusted gross income exceeds $43,000, the deduction is 20% of the maximum expenses. This would lead to $1,200 being correct. This is the nonrefundable dependent care credit.

I'm curious about this topic as well. What is confusing in this thread is the OP said they got a deduction but then the post that explained it said

Is it a tax credit or a deduction. Obviously the difference is huge.
