On the 2441, the child care expenses must be listed on line 16. Otherwise, your dependent care benefits do become taxable income. You will need to amend last year and this year and include the child care provider information as required in part I.
I recommend you e-file an amended return for TY 2021 as soon as the original return is completely finished- all payments have cleared the banks, E-filing will shorten the refund delay. The 2020 will need to be mailed in. Since you must paper file, tracking is recommended. Please:
In addition, you may need to file a state return.
