Deductions & credits

When filing status is MFS, you will not be eligible for the Dependent Care Credit.  The amount shown on your W-2 for FSA (up to $2500) will be shown on Form 2441, Line 12 and will be Taxable Income on Line 26.

 

Be sure to indicate Spouse's Income as $0 on the form, in the Married Filing Separate Smart Worksheet section. 

 

The Spouse filing as HOH will be able to claim the credit and use their FSA contributions.
