We are using it for child care expenses. Please re-read my original question, as I don't believe you read my entire question correctly. Where did I state I was not using the money for child care expenses? A check is sent directly from my employer to the day care for eligible child care expenses. I don't ever see the money. It never comes to me. Turbo Tax is counting it towards my income, and I don't think that is correct. I wanted to know what the threshold was for married filing separately. I pay for my daughter's child care and my work helps me with a small percentage that is sent directly to the day care. The child's mother does not pay for it and we file separately. I need to know the threshold. I thought it was $5000 and my employee has only paid about 3000 to the day care. Thank you if anyone else has insight I would appreciate it. My question is about the dependent care assistance program and NOT the credit. https://www.nbsbenefits.com/dependent-care-assistance-program-vs-dependent-care-tax-credit/
