@abctax55 it's a MFJ return but only one of them has earned income.

Unless the one without earned income is a full time student, or disabled...there's no Child Care Credit available.

The point of the credit is to allow folks to work.   No earned income, no credit.  It's in the instructions, and is also shown on the Form 2441
