If Turbo Tax is not recognizing income for your spouse, this is due to one of these reasons:
- Your wife's business is showing as a loss, or as a $0 after expenses. To have earned income for the purposes of the Child and Dependent Care credit, the net Schedule C income must be greater than $0.
- The businesses are both being attributed to you inside the program. One of them is hers, and the correction would need to be made. Edit the business from the beginning. A few screens in, you can switch the radio button to the correct spouse without losing the information.
