I am trying to add my dependent's daycare information, but the dependent is not in the drop-down list under "Whose care did you pay for?". Why?

    Have you entered your income for work on the tax return?  If married and filing jointly have you entered the spouse's income from work on the tax return?

    Yes.  No spouse.  Child's mother and I split childcare costs.

    Is the child under the age of 13? 

    Has the child been added as a dependent on your tax return in the My Info section of the program?  Go back to My Info and check to see that the child is a dependent.
