After you file

The Child and Dependent Care Expenses are a non-refundable credit.  So, if you look at line 11 of your 1040 this will help you figure out if you should try to amend your return.  If the amount is $0, you will not get anything more back by amending so you could stop and not amend.

  If line 11 is more than $0, then depending on the rest of your situation, you may get a refund so then you would want to try Amending.  Just remember the amended returns need to be printed and mailed.  They cannot be e-filed.
