A dependent day care FSA lets you set aside pre-tax dollars to cover expenses for your child(ren) or other qualifying person so that you and your spouse can work or look for work.
You and your spouse can contribute a combined total between $500 and $5,000 per calendar year through automatic payroll deductions.
Since your contribution is pre-tax, less in taxes come out of your paycheck.
Unlike the health care FSA, you can only use funds that have already been withheld from your paycheck.
You have to enroll each year.

In return for the favorable tax advantages, the IRS has strict rules on these accounts.
Estimate the amount of your upcoming expenses using the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Worksheet. Remember to subtract holidays, vacations and other times you may not need to pay for eligible child(ren), adult or elder care. Also consider whether any dependents will lose dependent status during the year, for example, if a healthy dependent child is turning 13.
