Why do I need to provide the EIN for my day care when I am not eligible for the tax credit?

I'm going to see if I can go back and delete the section entirely, but I'm slightly annoyed that TurboTax even asked me about this tax credit and all the details about my day care provider when it already knew I wasn't eligible due to an employer FSA for child care.

If you have an amount in box 10 of your W-2 then you are required to file the form 2441 even if you are not getting the credit.  Ask the day care for their number tomorrow.

Thanks! I might have felt better about it at the time if TurboTax had told me that.
