The instructions state, "Line 6 Child and Dependent Care If you claimed the federal Credit for Child and Dependent Care Expenses, you’re allowed an Idaho deduction for the child care expenses you paid for the care of your dependents. "
I wondered if Idaho meant that literally - no federal credit, no Idaho deduction.
So I called the State on Tuesday or Wednesday, and I finally got the callback. The agent at the Tax Office said, "no form 2441 on the federal, no Idaho deduction".
I think it may be possible to have a 2441 on the federal without getting the credit, but that's not the way that TurboTax is written. TurboTax is following the literal instructions - no 2441 credit, no Idaho deduction. And the Tax Office in Idaho is not suggesting an alternate interpretation.
