Hi everyone, 

I'm feeling a bit too dumb the longer I spend time to figure this out. So this would be my second year paying for dependent care. My problem is, I can't for the life of me, remember if I mentioned about the dependent care expense I paid for in the previous year. I've downloaded a copy of that tax year yet can't figure where it  would show my dependent care expense. please help and Thanks in advance!!

Line 2 of Sch 3 of your 1040 has your 2019 child care credit.
