Taxpayer is divorced and files HOH. The child stays at the home for more than 6 months of the year.

If claimed as a dependent, there is a box in the dependent section to enter child / day care expenses.

However, I am unable to find such box for Head of Household.

Is there a way to enter the dependent care expenses for a qualifying child?

Your post isnt quite clear, the child qualifies the TP as HOH, but is NOT a dependent?

The child should still be listed in the dependent entry section, but use Code Q at the far right end of the table.  This shows them NOT as a dependent but will qualify them for EIC and/.or dependent care.
