If you do not have dependents but were paid for dependent care, this would be taxable income.

I was paid by my employer for dependent care but I do not have a dependent?

it should be in box 10 of the w-2. Without having any DC expenses it will be added backe to box 1 wages and you'll see "DC" on line 1a of the 1040. therefore box 1 of the w-2 and 1a of the 1040w will not match.
