in "deductions and credits" and "dependent care credit" I do not see where to enter the amount I paid to my child's daycare. I have tried all options for the checkboxes.

TurboTax takes me back to the deductions page after checking those 4 checkboxes.

Have you entered your W-2 or self-employment income yet?   You will not be able to make the childcare credit work unless you have already entered the income you received from working.
