MFJ return made from estimate does not calculate dependent care credit

---

If you start an estimate in SureFire and uses MFJ status, the estimator has no way of knowing to whom the W-2 belongs. Since both the taxpayer and the spouse must have earned income in order to qualify for the dependent care credit, SureFire does not calculate the credit on the estimate. You must complete the return and code the W-2s correctly (T or S) in SureFire in order to correct the problem.
