Box 10 on W2 has $900 on it. Which was taken out pre-tax for child care flexable speding account. Do I still file for the child care credit? The software I’m using says that if I don’t the $900 will be counted as income? It seems to me that if I do use it, it’s like I’m getting the tax benefit twice.
Please advise!!!! Thanks!
Yes.
File the Form 2441 with your return. What you paid for child care will be reduced by $900 on the form. You will receive and credit for the difference (if any).
