Did you enter your expenses and child care providers information?   Go through the Child and Dependent Care Credit section in TurboTax and enter the required information.   The Child and Dependent Care Credit is worth as much as 35% of your qualified expenses, up to $3,000, (for one qualifying person), and $6,000 (for two or more qualifying persons).  Your percentage depends on your AGI, with the higher percentages applying to lower incomes and vice-versa.

 

How do I get to the Child and Dependent Care Credit in TurboTax?
