Have you entered the income you earned from working yet?   If you start working on the childcare credit before you enter a W-2 or 1099NEC  --  or some other self-employment income that does not show a loss --  for income earned from working, you will not see the credit.

Oh that may be the issue then! I was filling out all the information that I could prior to receiving my W-2 from my employer, so it's highly likely that since I haven't received that yet and entered in that information, my dependent isn't going to show up. I'll see if I am still experiencing this issue after I've had a chance to input my W-2 info. Thanks so much!
