After you file

It depends. Go back through this section carefully to make sure the program picks up your income. 

 

If you are still getting unexpected results, you could delete this section and re-add it for the amendment.

 

To navigate to this section in TurboTax, follow these steps:

  • From the left menu, select Federal
  • From the tabs across the top, select Deductions & Credits
  • Scroll to Child and Dependent Care Credit and click Edit/Add
  • Follow through the prompts carefully that begin with Did you pay for child or dependent care in 2019?

Keep in mind that expenses paid through your employer as pre-tax dollars are not eligible for this credit. The credit is for after tax dollars spent for the child or dependent care while the head of the household or both parents were working or looking for work.
