Form 2441

2020 tax return had amount of dependent care benefits entered on Form 2441, Part III, LIne 14 to be carried forward to 2021 (employer plan allowed for benefit to be carried over).  There are no dependent care benefits in 2021 W-2 Box 10.  Taxpayer had qualifying child care expenses in excess of amount carried forward.  The amount of the child care expense is entered on the information worksheet.  Form 2441, Part I has all information entered including the amount paid to provider. There was no entry on Line 13 for the carry over amount, so I entered the amount carried forward.  At this point, I was expecting the rest of the form to calculate but that didn't happen.  Am I missing doing something? 

On a side note, I know it takes time out of your day to answer these questions and I want you to know it is greatly appreciated.
