All three children are under the age of 16 years old and they live with Matamba and Mandisa full-time. Please write a memo to the file letting Matamba and Mandisa know which option is better. The code section for the dependent care credit is IRC 21 and the code section for the employers dependent care assistance programs is IRC 129.
