Child and dependent care

I am trying to put the information for day care that she attended in 2024 like I did for 2023. Both parents worked full time like in 2023 but now it’s asking me if either parent was a full time student or Disabled. Which that doesn’t apply so it is saying we don’t qualify. But I thought the requirements was that we both needed to have a full time job not be students? Can anyone advice ?

This is probably a matter of timing. TurboTax asks the question about full time student or Disabled only when one of the parents does not have any earned income.

 

Common causes are 

(1) you entered a W-2 with the wrong owner (go check), and 

(2) you started working on the 2441 in TurboTax before you entered the W-2s for both parents. If so, just go enter the W-2, then go back to the 2441.
