On the General Information Worksheet (where you enter the taxpayer's name, address, SSN, filing status, etc.) look at the section for dependents. There is a checkbox for "Child Disabled" (directly under the spot where you enter the amount for the Dependent Care Credit).

Don't know why you would try to put an expense under child care as that is for a child under 14 years old. Your question leaves out too many details to give you an answer. I can only assume you are talking about your client that is in the business of health care. does your client have W2 or 1099NEC. Need a lot more details

thanks for reaching out. well, my client has a dependent mother 95 years old, she paid someone for the care of her mom. I thought we can use the childcare expense for adults with disabilities to claim the credit for the expense. thank you. I know I can also use the Itemized form for deductions, but I needed clarification.

What exactly is the error message?

@Terry53029 That credit is also for caring for disabled people over age 12.

error message is in pink color, is asking if the person is disable? I don't know where to answer the question.

So long as it allows them to work, I also believe you could use it as a credit for dependent care. Its been a minute since I last did one. Otherwise its a Schedule A medical expense.
