Over contributed to Dependent Care FSA for 2014
My husband and I just realized that we both contributed to our employer's Dependent Care FSA for 2014. He put in the maximum allowed ,000 and I put in ,600 for a total of ,600. Unfortunately, we realized this after our benefits deadline for for 2014. We are worried that we will lose the excess ,600 contributed. I have read in older posts that we should claim all of the ,600 thru FSA and add the ,600 to our gross income W2 claims for 2014. This would avoid any penalty. Is this correct or will we lose the ,600?
Any advice is appreciated.
