I have cleared my entire return and started over, that did not work. I revisited the form, said no, then went to tools and deleted form 2441. That still has not worked. It continues to ask me 3 qualifying questions but never brings me to where I can enter information such as caregiver info or amounts.

" 3 qualifying questions" - What are these 3 qualifying questions? "student", "disabled", "none of the above"?

 

If so, if you are filing married joint, TurboTax doesn't think that one (or both) of you have earned income. This often happens when you enter W-2s for both of you, and forget to show that your spouse owns the other W-2. Please check.

 

If you mean something else, please come back and tell us.

It asks if we paid for dependent care expenses. I say yes. Then it asks about residency in the US for 6 months or more. I say yes. Then it asks if either of us were full time students or disabled. I say none of the above. It says I qualify but never allows me to enter any information. It shows who was entered last year and the amounts in the review page but when I hit “edit/add” it asks me those questions again and brings me back to the page showing all available deductions and credits. I can’t edit anything.
