Thank you for taking the time to try and help,, and Yes, however the TurboTax guidance on this box states:
The box 10 should have an amount only if you have dependents and your employer paid for dependent care benefits. These types of benefits can include:
- Money you put into a flexible spending account and used for out-of-pocket dependent care expenses that your employer will later reimburse you for
- Paid leave used for taking care of young children or disabled family members
- Employee tax benefits offered by your employer as part of a program administered by the IRS for dependent care
If this doesn't apply to you, this box shouldn't have an amount and you can leave it blank.
I meet none of these requirements and my employer does NOT re-imburse me and does NOT pay for my dependent care benefits, this is money taken out of my paycheck towards my FSA to pay for child care expenses, so i'm still unclear based on this criteria. TurboTax needs to do a better job explaining this W-2 box and how it relates to the IRS requirements.
