If you meet all the Requirements for the Child Care Credit, try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies and go through that section again.
Make sure your Dependent's info is correct in the Personal Info/My Info section (birthdate, for example).
- You (and your spouse, if you're married) must have "earned income," meaning money earned from a job. Non-work income, such as investment profits, doesn't count.
- You must have paid for the care so that you could work or look for work. Being a full-time student or a parent unable to care for themselves does count as "working" for the purposes of the credit, even if you don’t receive any income for it.
- If you are married, you must file a joint tax return.
- You must provide the name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the person who provided the care. The taxpayer ID number is either a Social Security number (SSN) or an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Ask your care provider for the number.
