Deductions & credits

If you have not yet filed your return you can revisit the section this way:

  • In your open return, select My Account
  • Tools
  • Topic Search
  • Type childcare in the box, then select GO

If you have already filed, then you will need to wait until your return is accepted/rejected. If rejected, you can follow steps above.

If accepted, wait until the return is fully processed and you have received a refund/paid taxes due. Only after the original return is fully processed can you amend (1040X). The 1040X will not be ready to file until mid-February. Do not make any changes to your original return until the form is ready.
