Unfortunately my spouse will be having surgery soon and the only one available to take care of our child during the surgery and recovery is a relative that will be flying in from Canada to help take care of our child.
That being said, I do have an FSA set up at work for dependent care expenses. From documentation from work, travel expenses incurred for bringing a caregiver to a child/spouse is an eligible expense. However, how does that play out when I do my taxes, and the person I am naming does not have a US tax ID, or file taxes in the US?
Form 2441 requires me to identify the care giver information, including SSN/EIN. Can I still claim this as a valid expense without being penalized?
