Some states allow LLC members to transfer real property to an LLC to receive a tax exemption. A new LLC can purchase real property and use the real estate portfolio to bolster its financial profile and add to its value.
The child and dependent care tax credit is a percentage of your day care expenses up to $3,000 for one dependent or $6,000 for two or more dependents. That's not the amount of your credit. It's the amount of day care expenses you can apply the percentage to.
Child care costs are not claimed as a non-refundable tax credit, but as a deduction from income on line 214 of the personal tax return. A non-refundable tax credit is always at the lowest tax rate (except in Quebec), but a reduction of income would save tax at the taxpayer's marginal tax rate.
