Thanks so much for the help! The issue I am having is within the software.
As soon as Parent A claims just Child A (whose max is $5,000 for care expenses based on their age) as a dependent, you cannot input any amount greater than $5,000.
But Parent A in fact paid $6,500 in total when considering total care receipts for their 2 children (of which only 1 is being claimed as to not double count).
Last year's taxes were filed via an accounting firm, and I am trying to do it myself this year for us both. This is the only part I am stumbling on.
