Dependent Care FSA<br />
You can use this account to pay for some of the expenses you incur for certain<br />
dependent care services. Dependent care may also include costs you incur for<br />
child care for dependent children under age 13 and/or an adult living with you<br />
whom you claim as a tax dependent and who is physically or mentally incapable<br />
of self-care (e.g., disabled spouse, elderly parent).<br />
For the 2010 – 2011 plan year, you can contribute from $260 up to $5,000 to a<br />
Dependent Care FSA. For the Dependent Care FSA, pre-paid expenses are not<br />
eligible for reimbursement until the service is actually received.<br />
If you are married and filing a joint tax return, your contributions combined with<br />
your spouse’s contributions to a Dependent Care FSA, cannot exceed $5,000 for<br />
the calendar year (January 1 through December 31), regardless of your or your<br />
spouse’s plan year.<br />
Remember, your Dependent Care FSA election is reported on your W-2 form for<br />
the current calendar year (January 1 through December 31); however, your<br />
election is on a fiscal year basis (July 1 through June 30). As such, be mindful of<br />
the amount you elect for the Dependent Care FSA.<br />
You must re-enroll for the Dependent Care FSA if you would like<br />
to participate in the plan for the 2010-2011 plan year.<br />
