You may be able to claim the child and dependent care credit if you paid expenses for the care of a qualifying individual to enable you (and your spouse, if filing a joint return) to work or actively look for work.

The total expenses that you may use to calculate the credit may not be more than $3,000 (for one qualifying individual) or $6,000 (for two or more qualifying individuals).

There is no where on turbotax that lets me enter how much I spent on childcare, where do I enter this?

You would enter your child care expenses by selecting the following:

1. Federal
2. Deductions and Credits
3. I'll Choose what I work on
4. Child and Dependent Care Credit under You and Your Family

To claim the credit, be sure you entered all of your income first.  If you are married, be sure that you  have assigned your W-2's to the correct person, if both of you work.

The wording is slightly different if you are using the TurboTax online editions, but still you should be able to find the this screen and then select Dependent Care Credit -
