Deductions & credits

You can view parts or all of your tax return prior to filing it. Your Child and dependent Care Credit is partially refundable, so the credit is split into two parts, refundable and non-refundable.

One possible explanation for why you are seeing $0 on the summary is that you have $0, for one part of the credit, but you have a higher value for the other part.

If you are using TurboTax online, you can check your 1040, even if you have not finished yet:

1. On the left side menu, select  Tax Tools near the bottom.
2. Select Tools.
3. Select View Tax Summary from the list at the bottom of this box.
4. Select Preview my 1040 from the center of the left side menu.

Using this method you can see the total amount of Child Tax Credit on Schedule 3, line 2 and 13g.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop (disc or download):

1. Select the Forms icon in the upper right corner.
2. Highlight Form 2441 from the list on the left.
3. Your credit will be on line 10 and 11.
