Child and Dependent Care section but don't complete it. This can cause problems
when attempting to file your return. In order to remove the Child and Dependent Care Credit in TurboTax you will need to do the
following:
- Log in to your TurboTax
Online account,
or open your return in TurboTax Desktop/CD
- Choose to Continue
your return/Take me to my return
- Click on Federal

- Click on Deductions
and Credits
- Click on "Check for more tax breaks"
- Click on "Skip to all tax breaks"
- Scroll down to You and

- Next to Child and
Dependent Care click on Update or Edit
- At the Did you pay for child or dependent care in 2016? screen, answer Yes. (Even though it doesn't
make sense.)
- Continue to the Whose care did you pay for? screen and uncheck all boxes. Click Continue.
- In the upper right corner,
click My Account > Tools and then select Delete a
Form from
the options listed.
- Scroll down the list of
forms and click Delete next to 2441.
- Click Delete Form to confirm. You should
see the message Form Successfully Deleted. Click Continue.
- Back at the Review
Form List screen,
scroll down to make sure Form 2441 no longer appears on the list.
You will need to go through and
make sure that you have not selected anything that would indicate that you are
paying for Child Care and edit it accordingly. If you are stuck on the
"Tell Us About the Business or Person Who Provided the Care"
question, Click on the "back" button on the bottom left-hand side of
the page, click "Edit" next to the child who is listed for the care
and update the information accordingly.
