I have taken household employee expenses for a client that was a celebrity as miscellaneous expense. This is different however, because it is a caretaker. I was first thinking dependent care credit but this is the spouse. I also tried Head of Household but they are married.  Any suggestions?

Huh?  What type of deduction did you claim it as?

The 2441 instructions address when a spouse can be a qualifying person.

Perhaps some of the expense qualifies as medical expenses.


The more I know the more I don’t know.
