Child and Adult Daycare FSA
Cut Your Child and Adult Daycare Costs
If you need a child or adult daycare to care for your loved ones while you work, then a Child and Adult Daycare FSA may be right for you. You know how expensive that care can be. But, with a Child and Adult Daycare FSA, you can save money on eligible childcare and adult daycare expenses by using pre-tax dollars.
With a Child and Adult Daycare FSA, you elect an amount to be deducted pre-tax from your paycheck to use to pay eligible expenses below:
Child or adult care (during work hours only)
Preschool
Summer day camp
Before- and after-school care
Elder daycare expenses for dependent adults
Just elect to enroll, then choose the amount you wish to contribute to this account. The minimum amount you can contribute is $120 per year, up to the maximum amount per year that is based on your tax-filing status:
Married, filing a joint return — $5,000
Head-of-household — $5,000
Single or Married, filing separate returns — $2,500
You can arrange for convenient direct payments to your provider using the Pay-My-Provider option on the EZ Receipts app, or you can pay child and adult daycare expenses yourself and request reimbursement.
