TurboTax online version is absolutely wrong on handling Form 2441. I completed my return and printed to PDF. Line 14 in Form 2441 is blank. Of course it's blank because the interview NEVER ASKS FOR CARRY OVER AMOUNT. Being the online product, it is IMPOSSIBLE to directly edit Form 2441. Intuit is selling a FAULTY PRODUCT.
I think the best workaround would be to add $1 of DCB to box 10 of your W-2. This will trigger the carryover question. (You may need to delete the W-2 and enter it again.) Since it doesn't change your tax or income, I don't think it will cause problems with the IRS, and you are more likely to get the right answer than the ad-hoc calculations described above. (If you don't enter your own correct info, you might not be covered by the accuracy guarantee.) I haven't gotten any response from TT either.
