At my work I can do an FSA for health and/or dependent care. If you don't spend it then you lose it- that's the way a FSA works. So the FSA for health is only informational on the W-2 but the FSA for dependent care is in box 10 and counts. Why is this? They are both use or lose. Say I don't spend anything from the dependent care FSA. I've lost it- it's not income for me. Why is it in box 10?
