I am not automatically reimbursed for my dependent care. I have to request reimbursement. So while I spent all of the dependent care in 2024, I didn't request reimbursement for a portion of the 2024 funds until early 2025 (in the grace period). So even though I spent all of the money in 2024, do I enter the portion for which I wasn't reimbursed until 2025 in response to this question? I thought the first tax expert who responded to this post indicated that it is the year that the expenses were incurred, not the year they were reimbursed, that matters.
Thank you!
