Separate W-2 for dependent care reimbursment.

[GeorgeK99]

I took advantage of dependent care benefits offered by my union, and enrolled my kids in summer daycare.

I sent the invoices with the amount i paid to the union, and as a result the union delivered me a check with the amount I spent for daycare. The total amount was $1820.

So far it was great.

At the end of the year the union delivered to me by post a W-2 form, which has only box 10: dependent care benefits for the above amount. Box 1 has no value.

I entered the respective amount in form 2441, and imported the W-2. so my deductions are rounded up to 0 for this purpose.

However I cannot e-file since the union w-2 has no value in box 1, and the union is a separate entity from the employer so I cannot combine these forms.

Any fix, besides filing by mail?

Many thanks..

The IRS doesn't accept e-filed returns with 0 or blanks in box 1 of Form W-2.  The return will have to be mailed.
