I meet all the requirements for the child and dependent care credit so why does it keep saying I don't?

I have checked and rechecked the daycare facility's information I put in plus I entered how much I paid them for 2024, but it still says I don't qualify. It makes no sense. I have qualified every year since my son started- he's in kindergarten this year, but still goes to daycare after school.

Have you entered your income from a W-2 or self-employment?  The childcare credit will not work until you have entered income from working.

Have you entered your earned income on the tax return?  And if married have you entered your spouse's earned income on the tax return?
