Hello

When entering child care expenses, it should default to the spouse who makes the least, however mine is on the higher income spouse and i cannot correct/change it. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any idea? Turbotax's "help" won't connect me to a person.

Did you enter the child care expenses under the spouse that was to claim it?

Yes, i entered my tax info first (the lower one), then when i added my spouse's tax info it automatically changed it to hers and i didn't notice and posted it, only to notice when i was printing a hard copy.

I've tried to refile and adjust it, but cannot change it, even when it asks if the higher income spouse is eligible and i say no.
