To qualify for child care expenses to be deducted both parents on the tax return must have worked, been students or disabled. Once you enter w2s for both adults (since you noted no student, no disability) then you can enter the credit. For the full rules and limitations on the credit and earnings, see 26 U.S. Code § 129 - Dependent care assistance programs
