Qualified Child and Dependent Care Expenses

[FRANZ]

Why is it that qualified expenses is zero on Form 2441 when there is an amount in Box 10 of the W-2?

Because those are benefits received, , not expenses.paid.

You need to enter the child care expenses that were paid per child in on the dependent input worksheet. Then you also enter child care expenses paid per provider on the 2441.
