Deductions & credits
It's not clear what section of TurboTax you are in, because the child care section does not ask whether the child lived with you. You specified that in the Personal Info or Your Info section.
If you are trying to get the child and dependent care credit, have you entered your income (and your spouse's income if you are married filing jointly)? You cannot get the credit unless you have income from working (a W-2 or self-employment). TurboTax will not let you enter child care expenses if you don't have income from working.
