All the child care expenses that I paid in 2021 were covered by my dependent care benefits. I didn't incur any additional child care expenses over the amount I had taken out of my check for dependent care benefits. Turbo tax is calculating the 20% credit on my expenses that are line 28 of the 2441 form. I don't think I should get the 20% credit because all of the expenses that I paid were already pre-tax dollar. How can I fix this issue in Turbo Tax. I had $2550.38 carried over from 2020. In 2021 I contributed $1,199.95 to my employer benefit plan. The total child care expenses incurred were $2902.27. Turbo Tax is calculated a .20 credit on the $2550 that was carried over from 2020. This is the summary Turbo Tax gave: $3750 total Eligible expense, less $1200 contribution in 2021 equals $2550 x .20 for a $510 credit. The total expenses I turned into the plan was $2,902.27 and forfeited $848.07. So all the expenses that I paid in child care in 2021 were all pre-tax dollar and I should not get a child care credit. Is Turbo Tax's calculation correct or did I enter do something wrong and need to correct it? If I need to correct, where in the software I can correct this issue?
