Thank you for the quick response!

Hi, My wife and I separated in 2022 and we have 1 child. For 2023 tax she is claiming the dependent amount (line 30400) but we splitting all the child care costs and we will include 50% on each of our tax forms. In order to do that I create a dependent and add the expenses, however, the software claims the dependent amount for me (30400) and I cannot remove it. How can I claim my portion of the child care expenses but not the eligible dependent amount? In 2022, when I indicated my marital status changed there was a checkbox asking me if I am claiming the dependent amount and I could select no. However my marital status changed in 2022 so that doesn't apply anymore. Thanks, Steve
