Is anyone else having issues with the software when it comes to entering the Dependent Care?

I am never prompted to enter the cost of daycare, and I am also asked if me or my wife were disabled or students. It's like the software isn't registering that we both had earned income. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

In order to get the childcare credit you have to enter your income.   Make sure you have entered your W-2's or self-employment income.  And....if you were self-employed but show a loss, you will not get the childcare credit.  If you are filing a joint return make sure you show income under each spouse's name.

Thank you for your response. I have entered both of our income and still am prompted with the student/disabled question line as if I had no income.
