Deductions & credits

I am filing MFS and not claiming my daughter as a dependent this year. I completely used my dependent care FSA to reimburse child care expenses, however TurboTax is claiming that this is taxable money.

 

In form 2441, box 18b is checked, however I am not able to enter my dependent care FSA expenses. When going through the prompts, TurboTax tells me that I do no qualify for the credits (which I am not trying to claim), and it does not allow me to include the expenses I used to reimburse my FSA. I am also not able to manually type these expenses into the form. As a result, it's concluding the FSA money is taxable. Has anyone had this issue, or know a way to work around it and edit the form?

 

Thanks!
