Mr. and Mrs. Ireland have three childre

Mr. and Mrs. Ireland have three children who, at the end of the current year, are 4, 12, and 16 years of age, all in good health. Mrs. Ireland had earned income of $28,000, while Mr. Ireland had earned income of $90,000. Annual payments for local child care were $17,000. During the current year, Mrs. Ireland spent 4 weeks in jail as the result of a conviction for driving under the influence. Just after her release, Mr. Ireland spent four weeks in the hospital because of a stress related illnesses. While he was in the hospital the kids were at 4-week camp at an additional total cost of $500 / week (i.e. $500/week is the cost for all 3 children to attend this camp x 4 weeks = $2,000 spent). Total spent on childcare in the year was $19,000 ($17,000 for local child care + $2,000 for the 4 weeks of camp)

Required: Determine the amounts of the $19,000 spent ($17,000 in local child care + ($500 x 4 weeks ) at camp = $19,000) that can be deducted by each of Mr. Ireland and Mrs. Ireland during the current year for child care costs.
