I've now spent several hours looking at the 2441 form (in forms view) as well as the child worksheet. I've also gone through the interview process several times, but with no luck.
The W2 box 10 info specifying the dependent care FSA carries over to the 2441. But there is no way I can see to input and subtract out payments made to child care providers. So if I input the name, address etc of the child care provider and indicate the payment, that payment doesn't show up in any lines below. I can try to override certain lines, but that will result in an error exclamation point. No matter what check boxes I check, it seems that once I am in MFS mode, the dependent care expenses are "non-qualifying." Again, I am not trying to get the child tax credit. I am simply trying to zero out the FSA account so it is non-taxable. This seems to be a bug in the program because when I read the IRS instructions, it sounds like FSA expenses can be taken if one files MFS.
