Yes, you can enter these amounts in to determine if you can apply for the credit. You are not limited to only the expenses paid for the six months that your wife was working, (although other factors on the return can sometimes limit the credit). Here is how to enter the information into TurboTax:
- Login to TurboTax.com
- Click on Deductions and Credits.
- Click on Review/Edit (for some users this may read Continue where you left off).
- If you are just beginning your entries, click Yes, we did to the question Did you pay for child or dependent care? And TurboTax will prompt you for the information later in the interview.
- If you have already made most of your entries, navigate to the section You and Your Family and click Show More.
- Click Start (or Revisit) beside Child and Dependent Care Credit.
