I can fill this form in manually (thanks to the IRS) but I cannot make ProConnect work correctly. I can offer screenshots if someone can tell me how to fix it.

In ProSeries, you have to put the amount paid for each child in the column in the Dependent area on the Federal Worksheet. Then it should flow to the 2441.

Screen shot or more information would be helpful. Line 12 would be automatic from W-2 input. The rest is computed based on your input to make page 1 work correctly.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

So even though the individual is not disabled, you are saying to get ProConnect to calculate correctly I need to enter her as disabled.

Since this is not the Tax Code, I find this unacceptable. I can use it to make it work, but it is an incorrect solution

I'm saying the only way to be eligible to claim the credit, as a taxpayer, is if the Aunt is disabled.

Correct solution - If she's not disabled, no credit.

Review the instructions for Form 2441 at IRS.gov, before you declare what the Tax code states.

Forcing the software to create a credit that the taxpayer is not eligible to claim is fraud, and truly unacceptable to the IRS.

All tax credits have specific eligibility requirements which must be met in order to claim them.
