    2024 California Dependent Care Credit Form 3506.....seems like its not computing on any returns Ive checked

    the top part with the care providers and the amount paid fills in, but all the lines below that are blank.  Ive fiddled around with it giving more or less income, thinking maybe its a limitation somehow, but Im getting nothing.

    Form says its final and ready to go, anyone got one they can check?

    Repair updates did the trick!

    Seems to be computing correctly on my home system, maybe I got a bad update at the office....I hate this.

    I used my daughter file and transferred it from 2023 to 2024 (same thing I did at the office), added some income and some child care expenses......at the office nothing computes, at home it works perfectly.

    I backed up the file from home, Im gonna take it to the office tomorrow and restore it and see what it looks like....thinking I got a bad update at the office or something.

    The 2024 file I brought from home computes fine at the office, but when I transfer the same file at the office and input the same stuff, I get nothing....Im at a loss.  Im gonna repair updates at the office and see what happens.
