Deductions & credits

We can't see your return, but go to Tax Tools on the left side of your screen and click on Tools > View Tax Summary > and then on the left again, Preview 1040.

 

The $357 has already gotten tax benefit, so you can't use it for the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Based on what you have said above, your credit should be $919.

 

In the income section, I entered box 10 of the W2 as $357. Here I entered $3000 for daycare expenses, and TurboTax automatically shows I have $2643 of qualifying expenses. And where I highlighted, it shows the removed amount due to the care benefit. ($3000-$357=$2643). In my example, I only have one dependent entered, but it should function the same way as long as you enter $2476 worth of expenses under each child.

 

Is this what you see when for your entries?
