Hi there, I entered child care expenses of $5964.50. And am not seeing any change to max tax return refund. Total child care receipts amount shows $0.00. How to fix?

 

Credits and deductions

There may be some reasons why you cannot see the refund in your return.
The higher-income person is to claim it, in a case where the lower-income person:
  1. Was enrolled in and attended a part-time or full-time educational program, or
  2. Wasn't able to care for children due to physical or mental impairment, or
  3. Was confined in prison for at least two weeks
Or, because a breakdown in your relationship meant you were:
  1. Living apart for at least 90 days, and
  2. Living apart at the end of the tax year, and
  3. Back together before March of the next year
Child care expenses won't be calculated on your return if either your balance owing or income is $0, since child care expenses are nonrefundable and are subject to income caps (usually two-thirds of your earned income).
