joint custody of child

I have joint custody of my child. My wife claims child tax benefit. I paid for childcare while in my care. How do I claim 100% of child care expense.

Are you divorced or separated? Did your marital status change in 2025 or a previous year? Are you using TurboTax Desktop or TurboTax Do It Yourself (Online)?

joint custody of child

My status has not changed as I am divorced with joint custody of one child. CRA has already established that I am only entitled to 50% of the Child tax benefit. This is my 1st time preparing my return on Turbo Tax-Desktop and I need to enter somewhere that I am only entitled to 50% so the Turbo tax shows my only 50% for the Child tax benefit calculator. How do I show this in Turbo tax -desktop?
