In the 2022 version I'm getting an e-file diagnostic saying 'there must be a credit for child and dependent care expenses on Schedule 3 for efile purposes when a Form 2441 is present in the return.  This return must be filed on paper.'

The client used a dependent care account for $5,000 in child care expenses for their one child which I put in box 10 of the W-2.  I put the appropriate information into the 2441 screen.  There shouldn't be an additional child care credit so nothing on Schedule 3, line 2 is correct.  I don't understand why I can't e-file this return (and all the other ones like it). 

The client had the exact same situation for 2021 with nothing in Schedule 3, line 2 and I had no problem e-filing that.
