You do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit BECAUSE you had Child Care Expenses at work, which are not taxable income if used for child care. Turbo Tax had the $5000 as taxable UNTIL you entered the Child Care Expenses in the Deductions and Credit section. Your refund went up because the $5000 was removed from taxable income. You will see these amounts in Part III of the Form 2441. If your benefit was less than the $5000 max, you may have had a partial credit.
