I received IRS notice of tax correction for client with two children, Ages 12 & 15. (Neither is Disabled)
I entered child care expenses for both children, and the program carried the total of both children's expenses into form 2441 Line 3. This effectively gave the full deduction for both children, as apposed to only the 12 year old's expenses.
My client asked me why Intuit's software would allow this, if neither child was listed as disabled. Due to this calculation error, my clients now owe an additional $232. (They are first year clients)
I believe the software should have prevented the flow of expenses for the 15 year old child (absent marking him disabled), and the tax calculation would then be correct.
I would appreciate a chance to discuss this with an appropriate level of programmer when this is addressed.
