Thank you for the response. What you mean by "you can only use your dependent care expenses one time when requesting reimbursement."?
I'm in a similar situation: my wife and I are MFS with one daughter which will be claimed by only one of us. We each contributed $2500 into our own FSA and the daycare expense is definitely more than $5000. I understand the child credit is different than the expense deducted from our income and we will not be able to claim the credit. But regarding the expenses, are you saying we can only reimburse $2500 and what happen to the other $2500 we contributed to MFS? Are we not able to use it and is it just lost? Thank you.
