I took advantage of dependent care benefits offered by my union, and enrolled my kids in summer daycare.
I sent the invoices with the amount i paid to the union, and as a result the union delivered me a check with the amount I spent for daycare. The total amount was $1820.
So far it was great.
At the end of the year the union delivered to me by post a W-2 form, which has only box 10: dependent care benefits for the above amount. Box 1 has no value.
I entered the respective amount in form 2441, and imported the W-2. so my deductions are rounded up to 0 for this purpose.
However I cannot e-file since the union w-2 has no value in box 1, and the union is a separate entity from the employer so I cannot combine these forms.
Any fix, besides filing by mail?
Many thanks..
