Deductions & credits

Have you entered all W-2's for the year?  The software will check your earned income reported on these W-2's when entered.

 

The Child and Dependent Care Credit specifies the $3,000 or above figure.  See the IRS Instructions (page 5) below:

 

Your spouse's earned income

 

For each month or part of a month your spouse was a student or was disabled, he or she is considered to have worked and earned income. His or her earned income for each month is considered to be at least $250 ($500 if you had two or more qualifying persons at any time during 2022).
