I am getting the same diagnostic in a return. Hopefully Lacerte corrects this in a future update. When the time comes, I might try to efile it anyways with "efile error" disabled. 

I'm getting the same thing. I have a client that had $700 in W-2 box 10. They have no daycare expenses and it gives me the same diagnostic.

Harper, let me know what happens if you try to e-file before it gets fixed.

I am receiving the same error..

I am getting the same diagnostic and when I try to efile, it gets to the validation screen and says "Error: Diagnostics" and wont let me click the "Send e-file Returns Now" button. I saw a comment somewhere else saying that they were able to efile and it was accepted even with the error. Not sure how you got past the part I am at.

Has anyone talked with Lacerte on this issue?

Hi there. Is there a code or number on this diagnostic? A screenshot of your screens would be helpful as well! 
How to use the snippet tool on Windows. 
Thanks for the info! 

I'll leave the screen shot to someone else. The error code reads as follows:

"e-file: There must be a credit for child and dependent care expenses on schedule 3 for e-file purposes when a form 2441 is present in the return. This return must be filed on paper. (ref. #58266)

I called Lacerte about it, but they couldn't really help me because there was no way to get rid of the diagnostic without changing the return to make it incorrect.  I think there is a way to e-file by disabling the error, but I don't know how.  I'm not able to finish this particular return because I'm waiting on some 1099s so haven't looked into it.  I just wanted to figure this out before I got really busy.

I have the same diagnostic ref# 58226

Thanks for the tag. 
Hold off on these returns if you can, we'll get more information on this new diag soon. 

Hi there, I am getting the same diagnostic error - any updates on this?

"There must be a credit for child and dependent care expenses on schedule 3 for e-file purposes when a form 2441 is present in the return. This return must be filed on paper. (ref. #58266)"

Any updates on this please?

There will be an update in Tuesday's release that will remove diagnostic ref. #58266. 
If you're needing to e-file before then, you'll be able to bypass the diagnostic. Thanks! 

I still have the critical for REF#58226.  Was this issue not resolved?

@IntuitGabi hey! can we get clarification for @KAMEYER and @PaulE1?

@Intuitjhaze  ProConnect, which Paul said he uses, is the redheaded stepchild of the Intuit Professional tax software family. It gets the least attention around here.

I am using the Lacerte program

@sjrcpa Newbie oversight on my part! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll move Paul's post to the appropriate forum.

Even better if you could get that program some love.

@sjrcpa @Intuitjhaze 
Luckily all three product teams are on the same page with removing this error. 
The timing might differ between them but let's hope for this week. 

There's been a report that ProConnect is no longer seeing it ✅
Waiting on confirmation from ProSeries and Lacerte. 

Thanks all! 

My error from Lacerte disappeared yesterday.

My error was cleared up on 2/8/22 as well

I will try mine again.
