Deductions & credits

I appreciate your response.  I'm filing married jointly.  I followed your advice but form 2441 still results in $525 on line 26 and therefore it gets added to my taxable income.  My spouse is looking for work (one of the conditions that need to be met in order for DCB to be excluded from taxable income) but none of the TT questions ask about this.  It only asks if my spouse is a full-time student (being a full time student is one way to qualify DCB to be excluded).  An of course Turbo Tax know if my spouse has any income.  (this is the another way to qualify DCB to be excluded).    I think the Turbo Tax software has a problem with my situation but I'm hoping someone knows that it's not a software problem and can tell me what I need to do differently to get the DCB excluded from my taxable income.  Thx!
