  • A child under age 13 when the care was provided whom you claim as a dependent on your tax return
  • Your spouse, if that person is unable to take care of himself or herself and has lived in your home for at least half the year
  • Any other person claimed as a dependent on your return, if that person cannot take care of himself or herself and has lived in your home at least half the year
