Can I qualify for both the ‘Child and Dependent Care Credit’ AND the ‘Child and Other Dependent Care Tax Credit’?

We know we are at the max ($6k) for the ‘Child and Other Dependent Care Tax Credit’. But I thought TurboTax would ask us how much we paid in dependent care for the ‘Child and Dependent Care Credit’, but TurboTax is telling us we don’t qualify. I thought we would for sure because my spouse and I both worked and we are under the $400k annual income limit. We also had our children live with us all year and spent over $10k on childcare in 2022. 

 

Can I not qualify for both the 'Child and Dependent Care Credit' AND the ‘Child and Other Dependent Care Tax Credit’? The IRS's website says we can, but TurboTax is not letting us claim both.

 

Is the max credit I can get for children (despite the cost of their care) $6k?
