Answer 1

Answer:

The amount that Mahulay claim for the california child and dependent care expenses (cdc) credit is $0. That is zero dollar.

Explanation:

When it comes to claiming "California Child and Dependent Care Expenses (CDC) Credit", the condition is that someone should be employed to provide care or a Qualifying Person and the care provider employed should be paid.

However, the care provider employed could not be one of the persons that is possible for a tax payer to claim as  dependents, such as your spouse, the parent of the tax payer's Qualifying Person, or a child of the tax payer who is under the age of 19 (the fact they are a dependent or not does not matter here).

From the question, it is stated that the grandmother of the child reimbursed Mahulay $3,000 for the payment of daycare expenses. This implies that it not possible again for Mahulay to claim for the California Child and Dependent Care Expenses (CDC) Credit since he has already been reimbursed by the the grandmother of the child.

Therefore, the amount that Mahulay claim for the california child and dependent care expenses (cdc) credit is $0. That is, zero dollar.
