I picked up the appropriate form from my local library (I don't
remember the number), but one of the things I noticed on it was
a question that asked if the service (child care) was provided in
the home.  If you answered yes, then it asked if you had filed
the correct employer tax forms.

This seemed to be designed to scare people out of applying
for child care credit the withholding was not being done.


Another strange thing about this form was that it asked you
for the smaller of the two spouses salaries and then the
smaller of this and $2400.  And then you take a percentage
(based on your combined salary) of this smaller number.
So it seems that if one spouse had less than 2400 dollars
income, you really shouldn't be paying for child care,
you should be home taking care of the kids.

Sort of putting the squeeze on anyone chronically unemployed
and looking for work.
