Dependent Care FSA
The Dependent Care FSA enables you to pay with pre-tax dollars for day care expenses for your children and for your mentally or physically disabled dependents of any age.
Highlights
Use the Dependent Care FSA to pay for:
- Babysitters or companions, including relatives over age 19 whom you do not claim as tax exemptions who care for your dependents so you can work
- Education expenses, such as nursery school for children not yet in kindergarten
- Day care expenses for children under 13
