The system is saying we can't claim the dependent care credit because my has no earned income; however he has income from 2 business he owns?

One of the businesses he owns is a sole proprietorship and the other is an LLC.  He works at both of these business, so I am not understanding how this is not earned income.

To qualify for this credit, there must be NET profit from these businesses.  If there is gross income but the bottom line is a net loss, you don't qualify.
