We've never signed up for any assistance. The county agent has told me several times about grass programs and such but we have never partaken in anything.
Last year day care cost nearly $8K for my grandson. Uncle Sam only let me claim $600 of that. Practically all of my normal contribution deductions and a lot of other things were out the window too. I no longer qualify.
There comes a time when a person has to simply swallow their pride. My daughter wanted to sign up for day care assistance but I had been refusing her. "just let me pay it."
If legitimate expenses cannot be deducted, I am now going to let Uncle Sam pay for it. She can sign up for day care assistance and housing assistance - food stamps whatever she qualifies for.
