You have claimed childcare expenses for an ineligible dependant.

Daughter is 15, earned nothing, only claimed on my return.   Amount is less then $5K still get the error.  Suspect a bug in the program.   Premier version.   Suspect it didn't clear a flag as I originally had the same expense under my wife' and my return.   Still seems to indicate that my wife is claiming child care expenses even after removing it.

I'm getting the same error for my 14 year-old daughter's childcare expenses. I have an older daughter as well who is ineligible, but I have double checked that the receipt was entered against the younger daughter.
