The dynamic nature of the input screens sometimes makes it impossible to return to the screen where you want to make a change.

In your case, I think you may have to delete all the 2441 information and start over.

Do you have an entry in Box 10 on your W-2? If so you will need to delete your W-2 before you can delete the 2441(below) because so long as that Box 10 entry is present, the 2441 can't be deleted.

To delete your W-2 and 2441, please do the following:

If you have an entry in Box 10 on your W-2:

1. make a copy of your W-2(s) (if you don't have the paper copies)

2. delete your W-2(s) (use the garbage can icon next to the W-2(s) on the Income screen

*** Desktop***

3. Now, go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the 2441. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.

*** Online ***

3. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form

4. delete form(s) 2441

5. go back and re-add your W-2(s) if necessary, preferably adding them manually

6. continue with your Child and Dependent Care expenses.

Thanks, I tried these steps, but TurboTax (Desktop) never asks me for my child care expenses, so my form 2441 is missing that. It's causing my FSA amount to count as taxable benefits. Any idea how to input my child care provider and expenses?

(When I run the "Child and Dependent Care Credit" section, it just says I don't qualify because of my income. It never asks what my expense were.)

If you are using TurboTax CD/Download, you can enter an amount directly on line 14 of Form 2441.

Tap Forms in the upper right
In the left column (Forms in My Return) select Form 2441.
Enter the amount in line 14.
Tap Step-by-Step in the upper right where Forms used to be to return to the interview mode.
