The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) is a federal tax credit for working taxpayers who pay for the care of a child under 13 or a disabled dependent so they can work or look for work.

Qualifying expenses include payments to day care centers, after-school programs, babysitters, and summer day camps.
