I'm not sure what any of that means, to be honest. As said, I haven't touched taxes in 20 years. I know some of the stuff seems inflated in price. One $49.99 item has a coupon on it for $39.99. One $29.99 item doesn't even exist on Amazon anymore. Wouldn't that mean the value would be off? Since they aren't even made/sold anymore, likely due to the fact it was a bad product. One product is listed on my end as $38.99, but it's being sold on Amazon for $25 because it was another bad product, and I assume they lowered the price because of that. Another's ETV was $39.99, now the typical price striked out is $31.49 and Amazon is selling it for $29.99 But no, regardless of anything else, this is nothing but a hobby.

From Cindy at Turbotax:     She said the IRS has these forms and they are the ones that send them to Turbo Tax.   In checking on the status of the 1099-R, and after she asked a couple other folks, waiting a long time, they told her the availability of the form's date was today, Jan 21st, but they said the programmers need to input the entire form into the code and it may take another 2 days to do that so look starting January 23rd.     That's all I got.

So you entered this on a 1099-MISC or a 1099-NEC?   The interview process for 1099-R is not ready yet, so I wonder if something is carrying over to your situation, even though you are not using a 1099-R.   Still, so far as you can tell, your return appears to be accurate, right?   @drelocks

I think I answered my own question. The reason it is shown as income, is because the IRS wants to know if I used it for anything else but medical expenses. If I select I used for none medical, I would be hit with the 20% tax. Thanks everyone for your commitments. 

There is a dollar limit on the amount of your work-related expenses you can use to figure the Child and Dependent care credit. For 2024, this limit is the lower of actual expenses or $3,000 if you had one qualifying person, or $6,000 if you had two or more qualifying persons.   If you received dependent care benefits that you exclude or deduct from your income (such as a contribution to a Dependent Care FSA), you must subtract that amount from the dollar limit that applies to you.   In your case, the dollar limit is $3,000 and if your FSA deduction is $3,000 or more, you can no longer claim the Child and Dependent care credit.   Please read this IRS publication page 12, for more information.
