I have an EIN from the YMCA for childcare but Turbotax did not ask for it when preparing my taxes. Is this normal?

[mook2073]

Turbotax asks the question "Do any of these apply? (These are uncommon) Tax-exempt organization, Foreign provider, None of the above. and asks you to select an option. I chose Tax Exempt but no option appeared to enter the EIN. Tax Act asks the same questions but still asks for the EIN to be entered.

[TomK · Accepted solution]

When you enter information for child and dependent care in Form 2441:

IRS instructions state "If the care provider is an individual, enter his or her social security number (SSN). Otherwise, enter the provider's employer identification number (EIN). If the provider is a tax-exempt organization, enter “Tax-Exempt” in column (c)."

In TurboTax, if the care provider is a tax-exempt organization, you need only report the name and address of the organization on your return.

To enter child care expenses:

1. Log into your account and continue (if not already there).
2. In the Search box (top right-hand corner), type “child and dependent care”.
3. Click on the Magnifying Glass icon.
4. Click on “Jump to child and dependent care” ink high-lighted in Blue.
5. Answer the Step-by-step instructions.
