My husband just received a tax levy for garnishment of wages, and he will be claiming himself and both of our children. My question is, if we are married and filing jointly, and he claims both of the children on the levy, can I still take a deduction for exceeding $1500 in childcare expenses? The forms for levies do not allow for this deduction, so he cannot take it, and I figured that because we are filing jointly, I should be able to claim the deduction because we are paying the childcare costs. Hoping for an answer soon, because we only have until Monday to file this paperwork. Thanks!
