An incomplete Form 2441 will be created if you start the Child and Dependent Care section but don't complete it. This can cause problems when attempting to file your return.

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

To resolve:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Select Federal, then Deductions & credits.

  • In the Your tax breaks box, select Edit/Add next to Dependent Care Credit.

  • Answer No on the next screen. This should delete the credit from the Your tax breaks section.

  • Now you'll need to delete the 2441. Select Tax Tools from the menu, followed by Tools.

  • Select Delete a form in the pop-up.

  • Scroll down the list of forms and select Delete next to Form 2441.

  • Choose Delete Selected Form to confirm. You should get Form Successfully Deleted. Select Continue.

  • Back at the Review Form List screen, scroll down to make sure Form 2441 no longer appears in the list. If it doesn't, select Continue With My Return.
