Federal tax rules offer some help with childcare costs.
Look into
- A dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer, which lets you pay childcare with pre-tax money up to an annual limit
- The Child and Dependent Care Credit on your tax return
- State childcare assistance programs for eligible families
- Employer childcare benefits
Tax rules and limits change. Check IRS.gov or a tax professional. Nickel Nest Egg isn't paid by any baby brand, store, registry or insurer.
