TurboTax, please fix an error about Child and Dependent Care Credit (Learn More) article on TurboTax Home and Business 2018

It says:

How do I get the child and dependent care credit?

- The person receiving the care was age 12 or under or qualified as mentally or physically disabled.

but - IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses says:

You may be able to claim the credit if you pay someone to care for your dependent who is under age 13

Thanks

Yes? Age 12 is under 13. They are saying the same thing.

Under 13 is the same as 12 or younger.

No, under 12 is not the same than under 13.

Read well

Are you replying to me? I did not say under 12. It says 12 or younger. You have to still be 12 on Dec 31 which is under 13.
