Where to write off daycare

To enter daycare expenses in TurboTax Online, navigate to the Deductions & Credits section. Your expenses are not a write-off, but they will be used to compute the Child and Dependent Care Credit.

 

Here is how to report this in TurboTax Online:

  1. Open your return and click on the Federal, then Deductions & Credits.
  2. Add more deductions, choose "You and Your Family."
  3. Click Start or Revisit next to "Child and Dependent Care Credit."
    1. Alternatively, you can just type "child care credit" in the search bar and click the "Jump to" link that appears.
