If NJ state "Child and Dependent Care Credit" calculation is wrong, how to contact support to report this bug?

What exactly do you think is wrong with the calculation?


The New Jersey Child and Dependent Care Credit is a percentage of the federal Credit For Child and Dependent Care Expenses, depending on your income. What are the exact amounts on your federal Schedule 3 lines 2 and 13g? What are the exact amounts on your New Jersey Form NJ-1040 lines 41 and 63?


What do you think the amount on NJ-1040 line 63 should be? How did you calculate it?


What is your filing status?

Were you a resident of New Jersey for the entire year?

Sorry, I was just calculating it as 10% of federal credit in my case, but we should consider the number of months stayed in NJ according to Ref: https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/current/1040i.pdf

Page 42: Part-Year Residents. Prorate your credit based on the number of months you were a New Jersey resident.

Two points here:

1. TurboTax didn't provide any clue on "explainWhy" or "How did you calculate", but I'm fine with it now 😐.

2. Its about the State rules and nothing on TurboTax, I paid entire portion to someone NJ resident to take care of my dependent, then why should it be a prorate for part-year resident? Why can't it be calculated like INT or DIV 😠.
