I'm doing a 2022 tax return that involves a child born in September 2021. Child care expenses were incurred for this child, but the software won't let me input the expenses to get the credit, apparently because the designer thought that a person who lived with the taxpayer for less than one half year is automatically not eligible. This is WRONG. IRS publication 503 clearly states: "Birth or death of otherwise qualifying person. In determining whether a person is a qualifying person, a person who was born or died in 2021 is treated as having lived with you for more than half of 2021 if your home was the person's home more than half the time he or she was alive in 2021."
Will the software be fixed so that I can input the expenses for this child and get the credit?
