Enter him as a dependent, in the personal info section. When asked how long he lived with you, answer all year.

Later, enter the day care info, In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab

Deductions & Credits

“I’ll choose what I want to work on” button

-Scroll down to:

-You and your family

--Child and dependent care

To get the credit, you must have worked or gone to school and had earned income
