TaxSlayer has made some progress with Vermont's dual credits for CDC (24% vs 50%). If all of the CDC is from an Accredited VT facility or none is from an Accredited facility, it works. If there is a mixture of Accredited and non-Accredited care facilities, it does not work because it doesn't use the LICDC worksheet for line 31g. TaxSlayer added one question to the Vermont Basic Information page: It's an all-or-none question. If there is more than one facility on the 2441, it does not ask about each one. I will bring this to their attention. Like several of their other 'fixes,' I have not received a formal notice that the issue has been resolved. They are heading in the right direction, though the fix needs a little fine tuning. It should work for most returns.
The fix does take into account the taxpayer's AGI. If the taxpayer's AGI is less than the maximum [$30,000 (S, HoH) or $40,000 (MFJ, CUFJ)] and they used Accredited facilities only, they can claim the 50% refundable credit on line 31g. Otherwise, they get the 24% credit as a subtraction from their VT Income Tax on line 19 (not refundable), even if it's an Accredited facility. You can now get the 50% credit for taxpayers as long as they use Accredited facilities only and qualify income-wise. When there is more than one facility involved and not all are Accredited, you don't have the option to use the LICDC worksheet at the moment.
