Childcare expenses not being accounted for in deductions

[DemiTech]

I’ve given up thinking TurboTax will fix this. I filed mine and went onto my CRA account and added the child care deductions directly.  A reassessment is now in progress, hopefully it works out.   Thanks for nothing TurboTax

@pouyab We appreciate your feedback, and thanks for the update!

FYI this is still an outstanding issue.  I just completed my tax return and the Child care expenses line 21400 is not being updated properly.  Please advise, thanks.

I had this issue, I ended up filing with another tax software. I could have lost out on a 4 figure tax return. Turbo tax said I OWED!! 

Child Care Expenses show up in deductions section but do not show up in your summary

TurboTax NEEDS to fix this.

I was able to fix my issue with Childcare expenses not showing deduction by entering my spouse's income (I had previously entered 0). I also checked relationship to child was correct for me.

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue.  Is there a manual work around?

@skg00 Depending on the software you are using, the instruction are different. We recommend you to review the entries of your dependent(s) and the expenses and we invite you to visit this link:

How do I enter child care expenses in TurboTax?
 

We also suggest you to verify these element:

1. Age and dependency of the child

To be eligible, the child must meet any of these 2 conditions: the child is under 16 years old, has a physical or mental impairment

2. Relationship and income. 

You can claim the expense for your child or your spouse/common-law partner's child. Alternatively, you can claim the expenses if the child was dependent on you or your partner and had a net annual income of $15,000 or less.

3. Reason for child care. 

You paid someone to look after the child so that you or your partner could: earn income from a job, operate a business alone or as an active partner
conduct grant-funded research or similar work, attend a full-time or part-time educational program.

4. Residency and location of child care. 

Typically, you're only eligible if the child-care services were provided in Canada by a Canadian resident while the child lived with you.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

Thanks for posting this!  I had the same problem, as I bet most people did.  I didn't realise how easy it was to add this directly in CRA.
