I was working on my taxes at H&R block online and it told me that I could not use the $2,000 in day care costs because I am filing as Married but separate. Is that true?

Yes that is true. There are plenty of deductions/credits you lose filing mfs.

If you and your spouse live together, you can’t claim it on an MFS return.
