Deductions & credits
TurboTax applies limitations to the qualifying expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit (especially in light pf any amount in box 10 on your W-2 from your Dependent Care FSA, if one), and the result of this computation is what appears on the summary screen, not the total that you entered.
As you know, there is a limit of $3,000 in expenses for one child and of $6,000 for two or more children for the Credit, and this can be limited by the amount contributed from an FSA (if one); thus, the amount of expenses that you can use for the credit will often not be the amount that you actually spent.
So long as the final amount is the correct answer, don't let the amount on the summary page concern you.
