General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code
unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form
Employers use Form 8882 to claim the credit for qualified
childcare facility and resource and referral expenditures.
The credit is part of the general business credit. You may
claim the credit any time within 3 years from the due date
of your return on either an original or amended return.
Taxpayers, other than partnerships, S corporations,
estates, or trusts, whose only source of this credit is from
those pass-through entities, are not required to complete
or file this form. Instead, they can report this credit
directly on Form 3800.

How To Figure the Credit
The credit is 25% of the qualified childcare facility
expenditures plus 10% of the qualified childcare resource
and referral expenditures paid or incurred during the tax
year. The credit is limited to $150,000 per tax year.
Qualified childcare expenditures are amounts paid or
incurred:
• To acquire, construct, rehabilitate, or expand property
that:
1. Is to be used as part of a qualified childcare facility of
the taxpayer,
2. Is depreciable (or amortizable) property, and
3. Is not part of the principal residence of the taxpayer
or any employee of the taxpayer;
• For the operating expenses of a qualified childcare
facility of the taxpayer, including expenses for training of
employees, scholarship programs, and providing

increased compensation to employees with higher levels
of childcare training; or
• Under a contract with a qualified childcare facility to
provide childcare services to employees of the taxpayer.
Note. Any expenses for childcare included in qualified
childcare facility expenditures may not exceed the fair
market value of such care.
A qualified childcare facility is a facility that meets the
requirements of all applicable laws and regulations of the
state or local government in which it is located, including
the licensing of the facility as a childcare facility. The
following conditions must also be met.
• The principal use of the facility must be to provide
childcare (unless the facility is also the personal residence
of the person operating the facility).
• Enrollment in the facility must be open to employees of
the taxpayer during the tax year.
• If the facility is the principal trade or business of the
taxpayer, at least 30% of the enrollees of the facility must
be dependents of employees of the taxpayer.
• The use of the facility (or the eligibility to use the facility)
must not discriminate in favor of highly compensated
employees.
Qualified childcare resource and referral expenditures
are amounts paid or incurred under a contract to provide
childcare resource and referral services to employees of
the taxpayer. The provision of the services (or the
eligibility to use the services) must not discriminate in
favor of highly compensated employees.

Form 8882 (Rev. 12-2017)

No Double Benefit Allowed

Specific Instructions

You must reduce:
• The basis of any qualified childcare facility by the
amount of the credit on line 7 allocable to capital
expenditures related to the facility,
• Any otherwise allowable deductions used to figure the
credit by the amount of the credit on line 7 allocable to
those deductions, and
• Any expenditures used to figure any other credit by the
amount of the credit on line 7 allocable to those
expenditures (for purposes of figuring the other credit).
Note. For credits entered on line 5, only the pass-through
entity is required to make this reduction.

Line 8

Recapture of Credit
You may have to recapture part or all of the credit if,
before the 10th tax year after the tax year in which your
qualified childcare facility is placed in service, the facility
ceases to operate as a qualified childcare facility or there
is a change in ownership of the facility. However, a
change in ownership will not require recapture if the
person acquiring the interest in the facility agrees, in
writing, to assume the recapture liability. See section 45F
(d) for details.
Any recapture tax is reported on the line of your tax
return where other recapture taxes are reported (or, if no
such line, on the “total tax” line). The recapture tax may
not be used in figuring the amount of any credit or in
figuring the alternative minimum tax.

Member of Controlled Group or Business
Under Common Control
For purposes of figuring the credit, all members of a
controlled group of corporations (as defined in section 52
(a)) and all members of a group of businesses under
common control (as defined in section 52(b)), are treated
as a single taxpayer. As a member, figure your credit for
lines 2 and 4 as follows:
• Figure your credit for line 2 based on your proportionate
share of qualified childcare facility expenditures giving
rise to the group’s credit for line 2. Enter your share of
the credit on line 2. Attach a statement showing how
your share of the credit was figured, and write “See
Attached” next to the entry space for line 2.
• Figure your credit for line 4 based on your proportionate
share of qualified resource and referral expenditures
giving rise to the group’s credit for line 4. Enter your share
of the credit on line 4. Attach a statement showing how
your share of the credit was figured, and write “See
Attached” next to the entry space for line 4.

Estates and trusts. Allocate the credit for employerprovided childcare facilities and services on line 7
between the estate or trust and the beneficiaries in the
same proportion as income was allocated, and enter the
beneficiaries’ share on line 8.
If the estate or trust is subject to the passive activity
rules, include on line 5 any credit for employer-provided
childcare facilities and services from passive activities
disallowed for prior years and carried forward to this year.
Complete Form 8582-CR, Passive Activity Credit
Limitations, to determine the allowed credit that must be
allocated between the estate or trust and the
beneficiaries. For details, see the Instructions for Form
8582-CR.
