    You are trying to use the child care credit?   Before you try to enter information about the childcare provider that you paid or how much you paid for childcare so you could work, make sure you have already entered your W-2 income or income from self-employment.

    If you are using the desktop version of TurboTax and trying to make entries directly on Form 2441, you may need to use the question and answer mode in TurboTax to do that. You will find that in the Deductions and Credits section, then You and Your Family, then Child and Dependent Care Credit.

    When your names were listed in the section for Child and Dependent Care, did you check the box for your spouse being disabled?  And if so, did you enter that he was disabled for 12 months and did not work or have any income?
