What if my children attended 2 different day care centers in 2017 how do I? combine them?

[LindaA]

No, you won't combine the information. You'll enter each daycare provider separately, then specify the amount you paid for each child at each daycare center.

• After you enter the information for the first daycare center, TurboTax displays Here are your care providers. Next, we'll get your expense info. To add the second daycare center, click the Add a care provider button. (Click the first screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.) 
• Enter the information for the second daycare provider. Again, you'll end up on the Here are your care providers. Next, we'll get your expense info. screen. Click Continue.
• TurboTax displays Pick a dependent and a provider, and tell us how much you paid. Use the drop-down arrows to select a dependent and a care provider, then enter the amount you paid for that person. (Click the second screenshot below for reference.) 
• Click + Add another expense. Enter additional information as needed, for example, enter the amount you paid at the second daycare center for the first child. Keep selecting +Add another expense for each dependent-day care center entry you require. (Click the third screenshot below for reference.)
• When finished, click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to the conclusion of this section. TurboTax will calculate your Child and Dependent Care Credit.

In this section I do not get an option to select the same child for different daycare expenses

[MayaD]

To add more expenses for the same child:

• Login to your account.
• Select Federal from the left menu.
• Go to Deductions and Credits.
• Scroll down to Child and Dependent Care Credit and click Update.
• Answer Yes to the question " Do you want to review you Child and Dependent Care Credit information?"
• Continue to the screen Here is what you spent on Care providers.
• Select Add another care Provider

Here are some important points to consider:

1. For TY21, the credit is refundable. Even if your credit exceeds the amount of Federal income tax that you owe, the excess of credit over tax liability will be refunded to taxpayers

2. The credit is worth 50% of eligible expenses

• Max of $4,000 ($8,000 in expenses) for one qualifying individual

• Max of $8,000 ($16,000 in expenses) for two or more individual

Did you find the information by following the repliers advice?  I cannot find it.

Be sure to show the full amount paid for each child (even to multiple care providers) and then the amount paid to each provider (even for multiple children).  For instance, if you have a child (A) that went to 2 different care providers where you spent $5,000 at one and $3,000 at the second, and you have a child (B) that went to one of those same providers where you spent $4,000.  You will enter child (A) information and $8,000 spent and child (B) information and $4,000 spent.  Then you will enter care provider (1) information and $5,000 spent and care provider (2) with $7,000 spent.

To do this in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

1. Within your tax return use the magnifying glass to search child care credit, and select the Jump to link
2. Answer the questions and enter your child's information
   • To enter another child whom you paid child care expenses for, click Add Expenses for Another on the Here's what we have so far screen
3. Click Done and then enter your care provider's information
   • To enter another care provider you paid during the year, click Add Another Care Provider on the Here's what you spent on care providers screen
4. Click Done and proceed entering/reviewing your return.
