Deductions & credits

Yes, you can claim dependent care expenses for a child who turned 13 during 2024.

 

If you're using TurboTax Online, close the program, clear your  Cache and Cookies and return to the Dependent Care Credit Section.

 

This worked in my test return with a child who turned 13 in July 2024.

 

Make sure you entered your child's info correctly in the Personal Info section.   A MFS filing status can't claim the credit.

 

Here's more info on the Child Care Credit.
