Deductions & credits

The child and dependent care credit is a nonrefundable credit so it cannot reduce your tax below zero.  It is likely that after other credits were applied, only $200 of this credit was needed to bring your total tax bill down to $0.

 

You can check to be sure that is what is happening by viewing your Tax Summary.   Here is how to do that:

  1. Log in to your tax return at TurboTax.com.
  2. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen (you may need to click on Continue in the center first).
  3. Click on Tools.
  4. In the box that pops up in the center, click on View Tax Summary.

If you see a 0 for Total Tax, then that is what has happened in your case.
