65. CHILD AND DEPENDENT CARE
CREDIT. Enter the amount from line 3 of the following worksheet.
Only taxpayers with a net income of less than $40,000 are eligible for this credit. If you are married, your net income and the net income of your spouse must be combined to determine if you qualify, even if your spouse does not file an Iowa return.
This credit is refundable. Even though you may not be required to file an Iowa return, you may wish to do so in order to claim a refund for this credit. You may be eligible for this credit even though you were unable to take it on your Federal return.
Use the following worksheet and percentage table to calculate the Child and Dependent Care Credit. The percentages are based on your Iowa net income on line 26. You must attach a copy of your completed Federal form 2441 or Schedule 2 of Federal 1040A.

Married Separate Filers: In computing the credit, the combined net income of both spouses must be used. The Child Care Credit must be divided between husband and wife in the ratio of each spouse’s net income to their combined net income. |
