Deductions & credits

Yes, it does do that...I don't normally run stuff through the Review.

 

However, I am puzzled - I thought you said that "it doesn't ask if we paid for child and dependent care". So you didn't go through the interview and make any of the entries I suggested (like NONE and n/a)?

 

On those two screens in the Review (Provider amount is too small and no EIN) are there any other entries on the 2441? Did you leave the entries on there that you made in Forms mode previously?

 

If so, I would encourage you to go into Forms mode, delete the 2441, and start over and see what happens. If TurboTax abruptly discontinues the child and dependent care interview because your spouse had no earned income, then the forms should either be all blank or just not there...but the Review should not catch it like this...
