Do we pay tax on forfeited dependent care FSA?
I put $1600 into a dependent care FSA (and that amount was reported in box 10 of my w2) in 2017 but only ended up spending $770. Turbo tax appears to have me paying tax on the remaining $830 but that money was forfeited back to the employer as the plan has no carryover. Originally my w2 was blank in box 10 and I left off my dependent care expenses so as not to get a double benefit, but I received a corrected w2 with the $1600 in box 10 and so added the $770 that was spent on child care. My refund is now lower than when child care was out of the picture so I’m pretty sure it’s taxing that $830. Is there a place to put in that the $830 was forfeited or am I stuck paying tax on that money?
