Does the dependant care (child care) Flexible Spending Account impact the Child Care Credit?
Any expenses reimbursed with pre-tax dollars cannot be applied to the tax credit on your income tax return. Generally, if your annual income exceeds $27,000 ($35,000 if married filing jointly), the Dependent Care (child care) Flexible Spending Account could be more beneficial to you. Each situation needs to be evaluated individually. Please contact your tax advisor or Barney & Barney for more specific information regarding the child care credit.
