The taxpayer is paying for care for her disabled spouse, but I cannot figure out how to make the software pull the spouse info into Part II of form 2441. Please help!

Are they paying for someone to take care of the disabled spouse and you input the care providers information?

Hmmm, Im not seeing a way to make it flow either unless you add the disabled spouse to the dependent worksheet as relationship Other and with a Code Q and input the care expenses...then it seems to work, theyre not qualified for ODC or EIC, bt it gives the care credit.
