I did not add my 2015 childcare expenses when I did my 2015 tax return. Can I add that amount to current 2016 tax return?

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?
