Note: Solutions to the Research Problems can be prepared by using the Thomson Reuters Checkpoint TM online tax research database, which accompanies this textbook. Solutions can also be prepared by using research materials found in a typical tax library. Research Problem 1. Ashby and Curtis, married professionals, have a two-year-old son, Jason. Curtis works full-time as an electrical engineer, but Ashby has not worked outside the home since Jason was born. Because Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that he would benefit from attending nursery school several times a week, which would give her an opportunity to reinvigorate her love of painting at a nearby art studio. Ashby thinks that if she is lucky, the proceeds from the sale of her paintings will pay for the nursery school tuition. Ashby plans to claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses, because the care provided Jason at the nursery school is required for her to pursue her art career. Can Ashby and Curtis claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses for the nursery school expense? Why or why not?
