child and dependent care credit

In trying to complete child and dependent care credit in TT home and business 2019, I'm prompted to confirm questions regarding income <$6000. or disabled or a student when this is not the case.  What gives? Already showed significant income earlier

Do you have a net profit from the self-employment?

Check the W-2 entries and if there were W-2's for each of you make sure that all the W-2's were not reported for only one person.

No self employment

Two w2s with combined total income of >$100,000. which clearly shows in TT

Go back to the W-2 section and verify that the W-2's entered were not all assigned to only one person.

What exactly does it say?  I don't know if it's saying 6,000 for income,  the max credit you can get is 6,000.  Are you filing a Joint return?  Make sure you didn't say that you or your spouse is being claimed as a dependent under My Info.

"Because you entered <$6000. of earned income for both "husband" and "wife", we need to know if either of you were a fulltime student  or disabled in order to calculate the max credit".  I entered "no".

I don't understand the question given our combined income >$100,000.  entered earlier.

Notwithstanding we did get the expected child care credit of 20% of expenditure. and the worksheet showed the correct income numbers and calculations.

there is a known bug; let's hope it is fixed in the next TT update  (Thursday??)

I have the same issue. Double checked and everything is correct: Married filing jointly, not dependents of anyone, W-2s are correctly assigned.
