pre school tuition tax deduction

hello,

I'm having an issue inputing my son's pre school tuition in the child dependent tax credit section.   it's asking if my wife or I were full time students, disabled or none of the above.  we were both working, not students and not disabled.  where can I apply my son's tuition in this space to see if we get a credit?  we didn't receive a 1099T but our school gave us all the state and federal Tax Id's.  I have turbotax deluxe.  

I'll be grateful for any help or advice.

thanks!

Since you mention 1099-T, I am thinking that you are entering the pre-school tuition in the wrong section. 

 

DO NOT ENTER UNDER Deductions & Credits

For the dependent care credit, both parents must work, or be full time students. If Turbotax is not seeing that you both work, you may have assigned both W-2s to the same spouse.  Go back and review your W-2s.
