I put my daycare expenses in to what expenses I paid for my child and my return went way up. Is this right if I alsoput those number inwhat providers took care of my kids

I put my expenses where the dependent care credit is and then I also put those same numbers in where it asks what provider and how much you spent at each one. Is this right. My refund went up a lot when I put my numbers in to expenses for each child

It is correct that your refund goes when you have finished entering the amounts you spent on child care and the names and SSN of the provider(s) as on your tax return you become eligible for the Dependent and Child care credit.

Be careful not to enter the expense twice
