Deductions & credits

Box 10 of your W-2 shows the total amount of dependent care benefits that your employer paid to you or incurred on your behalf. Amounts over $5,000 ($2,500 in the case of a separate return filed by a married individual) are also included in box 1.

You must complete Part III of Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses to figure the amount, if any, that you can exclude from your income.

 

To report the Child and Dependent Care Expenses:

  • Login to your account.
  • Select Federal from the left Menu
  • Go to Deductions and Credits.
  • Scroll Down to You and Your Family.
  • Select Update next to Child and Dependent care credit.
