Deductions & credits

Im filing head of household single with 1 dependent child age (5) I have majority of my income in self employment and only a small percentage from a w2. When I get to the end it only says "it turns out you don't qualify for this credit"

I should still qualify for the credit. I worked on all my income first

 

We've determined you can't claim a dependent care credit. This could be because:
  • You have no qualifying dependent care expenses, or you paid all your expenses with dependent care benefits.
  • You have no earned income, or your earned income was excluded by the foreign earned income exclusion.
  • You have one child and had dependent care benefits of $6,000 or more.
  • You don’t owe any tax.
