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:
- Was enrolled in and attended a part-time or full-time educational program, or
- Wasn't able to care for children due to physical or mental impairment, or
- Was confined in prison for at least two weeks
Or, because a breakdown in your relationship meant you were:
- Living apart for at least 90 days, and
- Living apart at the end of the tax year, and
- 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).
