What amount do I enter for form 2441 if I was the only one watching my daughter and was not paid for it? Do I have to fill out this form?

You would only use the 2441 if you paid someone to care for your children.

[Opus 17 · Accepted solution]

You can only use the credit if you paid someone else to care for your children so you (and your spouse if married) could work.
