Question

When entering dependent care expenses, how do I determine carryover? My plan year is July 2025-June 2026, so my FSA had funds until June 2025 when I withdrew them.

I left funds in my account until the full amount was available. So from January - June, I had money that was technically carried over from the previous year, but not the previous plan year.

Not exactly sure what your question is. 

Your W-2 box 10 is on a calendar year basis.

Any amount withdrawn must be for qualifying expenses paid during that calendar year.  if you prepay expenses, say at the end of 2024 for 2025, they count as 2025 expenses.
