Unfortunately you are not specific as to whether we are to enter the number of dependents or a dollar amount.

If # of dependents your explanation states that there are two types of dependents: qualifying child or an "other" dependent. How do we specify the number of each? Since there is only one field for claim dependents I have to guess it's a dollar amount.

If it is a dollar amount, then we need to be told by the employee what the dollar amount of the the credit is going to be for that year. This is where our employees get lost.

Quickbooks instructions are even more confusing because they lack clear instructions.

Please clarify.
