Was able to figure out today!
Trick was to indicate ALL children on the initial dependents form.
Then there is a later step to check off which expenses you want to claim for each. There you would ensure you don’t claim the same children more than once across parent for the basic dependent amount (was 13k or so for me for one child). I checked the basic amount for Child A on my filing, and she B.
Then because you indicated more than one child on the initial form, the max child care expense is corrected based on total children you input and you can select each of them by name and state the related child care expense. We were able to then correctly split day care/camp fees in half this way.
Hope this helps!
