On the 2021 federal form 2441, line 10 is the "new" refundable credit for child care expenses, and line 11, is the nonrefundable credit. In past years there was only a line 11, called the credit for child care expenses.
On the New jersey tax return, in past years, the federal child and dependent care credit would flow through to NJ, on the Child and Dependent Care smart worksheet. Line A, would be the federal credit amount, line B, would be the percentage amount, ect.
It seems, for 2021, Proseries is not calculating any NJ credit, if you take the 'REFUNDABLE' federal credit. If you cross reference Line A, it tells you that its from, Federal form 2441 line 11. That is the same as in prior years, since it was always only Federal form 2441 line 11.
I believe that proseries needs to update the NJ child and dependent care credit to reflect either line 10 of the federal 2441 (refundable credit), or line 11 of the federal 2441 (nonrefundable credit).If it only reflects line 11 of the federal 2441, there will be no NJ credit for all those that are eligible for the federal refundable credit.
