No.

If there are child care expenses that weren't claimed on your Child and Dependent Care Credit for 2015, you would need to file a 2015 amended tax return to claim those expenses now.

To file an amended return, follow these instructions: TurboTax FAQ - How do I Amend (Change or Correct) a 2015 Return in TurboTax?
