Deductions & credits

Please describe the sequence of the screens in the Child and Dependent Care credit interview that you are seeing. We are aware of one "loop", but it happens when one spouse does not have earned income. Is it possible that you entered both W-2s under the same spouse (it defaults to the primary taxpayer)? This happens more often than you think, that you enter a W-2 and don't notice that it was assigned to the primary taxpayer and not to the spouse.

 

Otherwise, please describe the sequence of screens, and let's see what this might be.
