FSA for day care fee - did not enroll starting of the year

[TechSri]

Did not know about FSA for day care. Paying for day care and i don’t have FSA. How to save taxes on this day care fee. I think i can not enroll in FSA in the middle of the year. Can i show day care expenses in tax filing and save taxes?

FSA is tax break and doesn’t change insurance terms, I did after I forgot to enroll few years ago. But general rules apply, fsa you can change how much you to contribute from your pay check through out the year

Agreed it’s tax break but in our company, we need to take that option while enrolling for Insurance plan itself and cannot add or make changes in middle of the year unless there is a life change event.

How FSA dependent care works exactly. Do they give card and we have to pay with that card at day care? 5000 max per year for married joint filer. If i start from july so how much should i ask to deduct monthly.

You cannot enroll in mid of the year unless there is change of event like new kid born…

You can claim during tax filing if enrolling in the middle of the year does not work out. Tax filing need not be itemized to do this. You might save slightly lower (in taxes) claiming this during tax filing instead of FSA
