Entering Relevé 24 slips

Enter Child care expenses in the DEDUCTIONS & CREDITS section of the interview.

Whether you received only a relevé 24 slip, only a child care receipt, or both, you must complete both the Child Care Receipts and Relevé 24 screens in TurboTax.

If you have monthly receipts from the same childcare provider, you can enter them as one receipt.

Note: Federal child care expenses generally must be claimed by the lower-income spouse. The Québec provincial credit can be claimed by either spouse, or shared between spouses.

Complete the Child care receipts entry screen.
If you did not receive a separate child care receipt, complete this screen using the amounts shown on your relevé 24 slip.
Open the associated relevé 24 slip and enter amounts shown in boxes C, D, E, and H (if applicable).
(Optional) To split the provincial credit between spouses, enter the amount you want Taxpayer 2 to claim on line 96 of Taxpayer 1's Québec Schedule C.
On the Relevé 24 - Statement of child care expenses summary screen, click Edit to open the relevé 24 slip.
Enter the amounts shown in boxes D, E, and H of your relevé 24, and then click Done With Relevé 24.
If you didn't receive a relevé 24 slip, use the amounts shown on your childcare receipt.
On the Québec Child Care Expenses screen, select all the boxes that apply.
On the Tax Credit for Child Care Expenses screen, indicate the amount of credit that you want to apply to Taxpayer 2's provincial return.
The balance will be claimed by Taxpayer 1.
