My w2 has child care HSA reported in box 10, but I didn't use any of the money, and Turbotax form 3506 kept asking for child care provider address. How can I fix it?

I have tried the following:
* delete form 2441 and then delete form 3506, but the forms kept coming back
* provide a child care provider address with $0, but it is complaining $0.

When you entered your W-2 form, the amount in box 10 for dependent care benefits is taxable to you until you account for it, by either indicating who you paid the funds to or if you didn't use them, you need to indicate that.

After you enter the W-2 form, you will be asked if your job provided child care on-site, and then if you had a flexible spending account. If you answer "yes" that you had an FSA, you will be asked what the leftover amount was in the account. You need to enter the amount in box 10 on your W-2 for that amount so your benefits won't be taxable.

Once you do this you should not be asked about the form 3506.
