I work at my two sons and daughters daycare. A benefit when hired was that they would discount my childcare 100% therefore I technically do not pay childcare, but this was a benefit and reason for not having a higher salary. There is no amount listed in box 10 on my W-2. Can I claim anything for childcare?

    IRS Guidelines: According to the IRS, to claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit, you must have paid for care. Since your childcare is a benefit fully covered by your employer, you do not have eligible expenses to claim
