ashby and curtis a young professional couple have a two year old son jason curtis wo 698861

Ashby and Curtis, a young professional couple, 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. As Jason is getting older, Ashby thinks that Jason 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. But, in addition, she is planning 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. Can Ashby and Curtis claim the credit for child and dependent care expenses  for the nursery school expenditure? Why or why not?
