She attended two different childcare facilities in 2016 totaling up to $10,000 in child care expenses. When preparing the tax return, I was only able to put in one of the daycare centers tax ID number. It also looks like I was only given credit for paying $600.
To enter information for 2 (or more) daycare providers:
First, you'll add the amounts you paid both providers combined and enter that figure in the box for total dependent care expenses.
Then, as you continue, you'll be asked to input the specific providers. On the entry screen for the first one, TurboTax will ask you what you paid to that specific provider. Then when you're done entering the first provider, you'll see the button for Add another care provider and you'll repeat the process for that one.
So you're entering one total figure for all providers, then you're breaking it down to what you paid each one.
