My wife got laid off and will start severance at beginning of the year for about 6 months. While she was working we used dependent care on her paycheck. If she's on severance and looking for a job, can you use the deduction? Pub 503 seems to say yes but how do I prove she's looking for work and how much daycare/preschool can we use? She needs time to research companies, work on resume, etc so it would be useful.
Thanks
