Schedule K 1 entered not showing any income for spouse

[jackiejwatt]

I entered all information from K1, but when I go to do the childcare tax credit, it says my spouse (who has the k1) doesn't have any income.

K1 is considered passive income and not earned income and that may disqualify you from the credit.

According to IRS rules, you – and your spouse if you file jointly – must have earned income from wages, salaries, tips, other taxable employee compensation or net earnings from self-employment. One spouse may be considered as having earned income if they were a full-time student or were physically or mentally unable to care for themselves.
