Deductions & credits
You are correct. If you read the entire thread, you will see there was considerable discussion about this. According to pub 501, when you file MFS and do not claim the child as a dependent, that child is "non-qualifying" for dependent care expenses on your return. My son fell exactly into this trap. You open a dependent FSA at the beginning of the year, then learn at tax time 15 months later it was all for nought.
