It depends.
If your employer returns any of the excess contributions to you, then yes it would be considered income. Your employer would report this to you as income.
But employers don't necessarily have to return the funds to you.
They have options that include using the excess funds to offset the costs of administering the plan, lowering the cost of the current year FSA, or reimbursing costs.
