Deductions & credits

I was unable to duplicate the issue you are having.

 

To get back and edit the Child and Dependent Care Credit in TurboTax;

 

  • Open or continue your return
  • Under Federal choose Deductions and Credits.
  • Under You and Your Family Revisit or Start Child or Dependent Care Credit.

Follow the prompts paying special attention to any question relating to the below tests

 

There are several other tests you must meet to claim the credit:

  • You (and your spouse, if you're married) must have "earned income," meaning money earned from a job. Non-work income, such as investment profits, doesn't count.
  • You must have paid for the care so that you could work or look for work. Being a full-time student or a parent unable to care for themselves does count as "working" for the purposes of the credit even if you don’t receive any income for it.
  • If you are married, you must file a joint tax return.
  • You must provide the name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the person who provided the care. The taxpayer ID number is either a Social Security number (SSN) or an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Ask your care provider for the number.
