TurboTax is frustrating. Why can I edit a childcare credit? My son is does not qualify and I need to change that.

You edit his information in the My Info section of the program.  If he is age 17 or older he is not eligible for the Child Tax Credit, but is eligible of the Other Dependent Credit of $500.
