Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did you go to the childcare credit section and enter the amount paid for childcare there?   Check your entries there.  Go to Federal>Deductions and Credits>You and Your Family>Child and Dependent Care Credit

 

And....in order to get the childcare credit you must show income from both parents on a joint return.   If one of you is self-employed and showed a loss, you cannot get the credit.   Make sure income is entered under both spouse's names if you entered W-2's.  Some people make the mistake of putting it all under one name.
