I can't generate form 2441 for dependent care credits. My client makes roughly 100k earned income and has spent about $20k on daycare in 2018.

Married and BOTH have earned income?

@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.

@abctax55 thanks... even when they have kids and are all under 13?

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

@abctax55 Thank you!
