My child and dependent care credit is not using my total. We paid two different businesses for care and it is only using one of them even though I entered both.

One is $2810, one is $1055. When it calculates the credit, which for me is 20%, it is only using the 2810, not the total of 3865

For one child, the maximum is $3,000 at 20% is $600. Since yours is showing less than that, review your entry for the child. The entry for expenses is before the entries for the child care. Select to edit you child care expenses
