Don't see the name? You can add another dependent below.

Why doesn't daughter XYZ qualify for this credit?

I read through the examples in the link and don't see that any of them apply.

Make sure you entered your daughter's info correctly in the MY INFO section (birthdate, number of months lived with you, etc.).

You must have Earned Income to qualify for the Child Care Credit; if married, both spouses need to have Earned Income (or be a full-time student).

You are correct.  It imported my years with parents from previous year.  So, it said she only lived with us for 1 month of the year.....upon fixing that to say the whole year it now looks much better.  Thanks.
