Child and Dependent Care Credit disappears

After entering my deduction information, the deductions screen in TurboTax shows a Child and Dependent Care Credit of $4k and a Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit of $6k. I believe this is correct and I am entitled to both. However, when I get to the Deduction and Credits summary page, it shows a Dependent Care Credit of $0, a Child and Other Dependent Tax Credit of $0, and an Additional Child Tax Credit of $6k. I don't understand why the names of the deductions have changed and, more importantly, why I'm not getting the $4k credit. Can anyone help?

Please check line 31 on Form 1040 if the refundable part of Child and Dependent Care Credit is listed there (or check Schedule 3 line 13g).

 

To preview Form 1040:

  1. Click on "Tax Tools" in the left menu
  2. Click "Tools"
  3. Click "View Tax Summary" in the Tool Center window
  4. Click on "Preview my 1040" on the left

 

 

 

Please see What is the Child and Dependent Care Credit? for additional information.

Child and Dependent Care Credit disappears

I also saw Child and Dependent Care Credit as $0 in the Fed summary page, even though in "Deductions & Credits" page it has a non-zero value. I think this could be a summary page bug. As the other comment says, the number in 1040 is correct.

 

There is another way to see if you get the credit or not.

  1. Click "FEDERAL TAX RETURN/REFUND" on the top bar. You can see your tax breakdown on the right side bar.
  2. Click "Your taxes > Credits"You should see "Form 2441 child & dependent care credit".
