Form 2241 Not populating for Full time "WORKING" parents

Me and my spouse worked full time in 2021 and wen we are trying to enter the child day care expenses its not showing us an option for working individuals - Rather it shows us only 3 options

a.) Full time students

b.) Disabled

c.) None of them apply 

 

I  am not sure how to access this form 2441 and put my kid's day care expenses 

 

FYI we did receive some credit from IRS every month a small amount , but I am still not sure how to put the expenses in turbo tax for day care 

 

FYI I am using the ONLINE version not the CD version of turbo tax

Make sure you are each showing income.  Check each W2, should be assigned to the right spouse.   If you have self employment income you need to have a profit to qualify.  Have you entered all your income yet?

If you have not entered your income earned from working yet you will not see the childcare credit.    And make sure you are showing income from both parents on a joint return.   If you have self-employment income and show a loss you cannot get the credit.
