The amounts TO BE ENTERED on lines 4 and 5. (i.e. the amounts that would be entered into those lines if the form was completed)
It does not say to blindly take the blank values from an incomplete Form 2441 and coalesce that blank/incomplete value into a zero. That is nonsense.
The instructions for lines 7 and 8 are clear that my actual earned income should to be filled in. My earned income is not zero. Turbotax should be following the instructions for lines 4 and 5 to get the correct earned income values. "Flowing" a blank value from an incomplete form into $0 is lazy and wrong.
You have a software bug. I will use different software that does not have this defect. Sorry to all the Wisconsin parents who will miss out on a tax credit due to Turbotax.
