发帖数: 60 | 1 我和我夫人都放了$5000在各自的 dependent care FSA ($10000 all together),but
reimbursement cannot exceed $5000. What should we do avoid the $5000 lose?
Thanks | r******l

发帖数: 767 | 3 When you prepare your Federal taxes during the next calendar year, you need
to complete Form 2441 "Child and Dependent Care Expenses" (attached to Form
1040), and add the amount in excess of $5000 (your case is $5000) back into
your income. However, if you have more than $5000 in dependent care expenses
(effectively paid with after-tax dollars since you added it to your income)
, you may be able to use that additional amount to claim a dependent care
tax credit on the Form 2441. Your excess contribution is not "lost" but can
still be used to offset some dependent care expenses.
