DC dependent care

[Hahn1040]

I cannot get the Dependent care from federal 2441 to flow to line 21 of the DC form.

I must be doing something wrong! 

Please help!!

There must be a glitch on the form. I think I had one that I already filed. I will check to see if she had a tax liability for DC and amend if needed.  

PS: I just checked and my client didn't have a tax liability, so I won't need to amend.

See if you can override the box on line 21 and enter the amount of the credit from line 10 or 11 from Federal 2441.

PS: Override is possible but it takes the credit as refundable regardless of what option you have in the federal. 

Oh well, I have only a couple of clients with 2441 that live in DC.

I meant to say, non-refundable, which makes sense because DC has not added Child care credit as refundable.

By the way, the instructions read that you have to enter line 10 or 11 in the box. So I guess we have to manually do it.
