Deductions & credits

All of the "experts" here are not answering the question.  The question is not about the CREDIT.  The question is deducting the EXPENSES.  The purpose is because if a filer puts money into an FSA and spends it on a child, the only way to not have that FSA amount be taxed is to show that it was spent.  If an FSA is not spent it is treated as taxable income.
