It sounds like you are trying to enter information for the "Child and Dependent Care Credit."

 

If so, you cannot claim care expenses as her parent.  The care would have to be provided by another person.  See the attached link for more information.

 

Child & Dependent care requirements

 

You may still be eligible for the Child Tax Credit.  

 

To qualify for the child tax credit, your child must meet the following requirements:

  1. Be under the age of 17 at the end of the year
  2. Son, daughter, stepchild, sibling
  3. Have a social security number
  4. Lived with you for more than half the year
  5. Didn't pay more than half of their expenses during the year
  6. US citizen, US National, or US resident alien
