Best Answer

If you are married, both parents have to work or one has to be a full time student. The amount that one can deduct for dependant care is limited to the lowest salary of each parent. If one parent doesn't work and isn't a student, the deduction would be 0 because the least salary would be 0. The amount that one can deduct if one parent is a student is based on the number of months that the person was in school.
