Both parents have to work in order for the dependent care benefits work. If only one parent works, the other parent doesn't have earned income and is not a full time student, the $5000 FSA will be added back as tax income..

我也有个相关问题。老公不在美国工作(一年来visit两个月这样),我们也是joint filing tax,但是他没有收入。根据上面的讨论,就算我开了dependent care flexible spending account,报税时IRS一看我和我老公的情况,这FSA的钱也会变成taxable income是么?这样子看来FSA也开了也没用。。。请指教。
