The following diagnostic is generating: E-file is disallowed when Form 2441 is included and there is no credit allowed on Schedule 3. Dependent care exceeded the amount reported in Box 10 ow W-2 and therefore there is no credit. Isn't form 2441 required to report the expenses paid in order to offset the amount in Box 10 of W-2?

Yes the 2441 is needed.

You are not the first to mention this problem.

I am having the same issue in a return (my own return actually). Hoping that Lacerte corrects this in a future update. Will probably try to efile it anyways (when the time comes) with error checking disabled. I find it hard to believe that the IRS will reject it for that reason. 

The return I filed was accepted, with the entry previously discussed. Good Luck!

I went ahead and under "efile" tab, I went ahead and disabled efile error, then efiled. It was accepted the next day.
