Offsetting the cost of childcare by participating in a dependent care flexible spending account (FSA)

The dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) reimburses dependent daycare expenses incurred while you (and your spouse, if you are married) are working full-time or attending school full-time.

The dependent care FSA program provides an opportunity to reduce your federal and Social Security taxable income by funding an account on a pretax basis. You may obtain reimbursement by submitting documentation of qualified out-of-pocket expenses related to the account (for example, an invoice from the day center). 

Review Flexible Spending Accounts for additional information on how participating in a dependent care FSA may benefit you. The list of eligible expenses may also be found on this page.
