Deductions & credits
You don’t need to enter any FSA contribution amounts while you’re working with TurboTax.
Health care FSA contribution amounts are salary reductions, and have already been deducted from your taxable wages in Box 1 of the Form W-2 you’ve been issued. The contribution amounts may appear in Box 14 of your W-2, but not necessarily, and that would only be for information purposes, anyway. Once you’ve entered your W-2 information, you don’t need to account for the contributions anywhere else in TurboTax.
If you’re asking about dependent care FSA amounts, these are reflected in Box 10 of your Form W-2. The Box 10 amount needs to be entered on line 12 of Form 2441, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, but, as with health care FSA amounts, the TurboTax program also auto-populates the amount.
