Deductions & credits

@dsimonson21 "Shared custody" or not---the child spent more than half the time at one parent's home than the other.   If the child spent at least 183 nights with you then you can claim the childcare credit.  If the child did not spend at least 183 nights with you, you cannot get the childcare credit.  The IRS cares about physical custody.
