Were you paying for childcare so you could work and/or attend school?  If so, you can enter the amount you paid for the childcare.  You will need the Tax ID of your childcare provider and the amount you paid.

Only costs paid by you out of pocket can be used for the credit ... not anything paid on your behalf.
