State tax filing

I just put together a quickie test in desktop, and the amount that printed as deduction 101 in VA was indeed the expenses on the federal return, not the credit. This was line 31 (and 29) on the 2441.

In your case, what was the total that you spent on childcare, what was the total of the two box 10 amounts on your W-2s (assuming that both spouses worked)? how many children are we talking about (one, or two or more)?

In the VA interview, the following screen appears:

The $1,000, which came from the federal return and which was allocated by default to Blank, is the amount that prints as adjustment 101 on the VA return.

Did you see such a screen, and what did it say? Did it have the federal credit there? Did you plug in your own value?
