Why Child Care Receipts Are Necessary

Receipts are needed to prove parents actually paid for services. Because parents can reduce their annual tax burden through the Child and Dependent Care Services Tax Credit or a Dependent Care FSA, centers and in-home caregivers need to be ready to provide documentation that shows:

Expenses were paid.
They were for actual child-care services.
The care was necessary for work-related purposes.
