Oh----more information posted while I was typing. If you are filing married filing separately, then you cannot get the childcare credit. If you lived apart from your spouse for at least the last six months of the tax year and were the custodial parent, then you may be able to file as Head of Household and use the childcare credit.
Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your marital status (single or married filing separately) into MyInfo, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
