Deductions & credits

Let me make sure I am understanding everything correctly.   

 

Amount of 2020 to 2021 Carryover                                  $   829.00

Amount of 2021 FSA  Contribution                                   $     12.00

        Total FSA Contributions for 2021                               $  841.00

 

Eligible Day Care Expenses                                                -    241.00

 

         Amount Eligible to Carryover to 2022                     $   600,00

 

If you are using the TurboTax Desktop version, switch to Forms mode and look for Form 2441 in the list of Forms on the left-hand side of the screen.   On Form 2441 you should see:

 

  • Part I, Box 1 should be filled out with the Day Care Provider's information and amount of Day Care expenses.

 

  • Part II, Box 2 should contain information about the child the daycare expenses apply to.

 

  • Part III, Box 12 - the amount of 2021 daycare expenses.
  • Part III, Box 13 - the amount of carried over FSA funds from 2020 to 2021
  • Part III, Box 14 - the amount of 2021 FSA funds to carry over to 2022
  • Box III, Box 15 - should be Zero.

 

You should not be receiving a child-dependent care credit on your return.   As you stated in your question, the $360 is not eligible for any credit since you do not have an EIN for the daycare provider.
