I'm not claiming the Disability Tax Credit (my ex-wife does), but I do claim all the childcare expenses, however, turbotax does not allow me to claim the maximun deduction ($11,000), but just $5,000

    Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?

    I'm using Turbotax Online. Despite I have identified that my son qualifies for the DTC in the "dependant information", when I go to Child care expenses, only $5,000 can be deducted, instead of $11,000. 

     

    Thanks
