Dependent care credit being denied on New York returns for qualifying children turning 14 when expenses where paid while they were 13 and acceptable for Federal purposes?

Appears that when expenses paid while child was 13 even though he/she turns 14 during the year, the child care credit is being denied on New York return unless disabled box is checked.  Federal law allows those expenses to be eligible for the dependent care credit as long as they were paid while the child was 13.  New York law follows federal law for qualifying child yet the program does not allow the credit on the NY return.

The age limit is under 13.  That's why the credit was disallowed.

Does federal flag for age, or is that up to the preparer to notice and disallow the care credit?
