I’m about to file mine & my husbands return separately. Now it’s asking to enter line 236. Who’s info should enter first?

Example.. my net income is 20,000. Then when I enter my husbands line 236 on my return my net income goes down to say 19,000. Now I’m wondering if when I enter my net income on my husbands, wouldn’t his income change as well? So who do I file first?

It's possible if you are claiming childcare expenses that adding your husband's net income reduces your own net income as the credit is now being applied to you. It is recommended that you prepare your returns together so these type of credits calculate correctly.
