Doesnt provide a space to enter daycare money spent

[ltriboletti5]

under federal/deductions and credits/child credits it does not allow me to enter daycare money spent.

Do you have daycare on your W2 from work? Do you have an eligible child? Are there 2 parents both working or students? What message are you seeing? What screen are you stuck on?

See  What is the Child and Dependent Care Credit?

[ltriboletti5]

It is not on my  w2 I have a tax statement from the daycare that I have entered every other year. We do have an eligible child  and both work. 

when I go to deductions and credits, I click edit with child and other dependent tax credits…

then I click “none of those apply to us” for the next question and it says “congrats you get a tax break” but doesn’t give me an option to enter anything.
