Deductions & credits
Please revisit the input for this area. You do not appear to qualify to claim any benefit. Any amount removed from an employee sponsored, pre-tax dependent care spending account would theoretically be included on your Form W-2.
The IRS rules for the Child and Dependent Care Credit require you to only benefit from expenses paid that were not reimbursed.
The amount paid into a spending account with pre-tax dollars can be excluded from your income, however, only childcare expenses exceeding that contribution can be claimed for purposes of the Child and Dependent Care Credit.
