Four Easy Ways to Comply with the Rules and Get the Most Out of Your Dependent Care FSA.

1. Know Who’s Eligible
Your Dependent Care FSA can be used to pay for eligible dependent care expenses for:

- A dependent child(ren) under the age of 13 who resides with you and for whom you are entitled to a personal tax exemption as a dependent

- A spouse or other tax-dependent who resides with you and is physically or mentally incapable of self-care

2. Know What’s Eligible
Your Dependent Care FSA can be used to pay for dependent care services, such as preschool, summer day camp, before or after school programs, and child or elder daycare, so you, and your spouse if you are married, can work or look for work. It should be noted that fees and tuition associated with kindergarten and elementary school are not eligible for reimbursement. Look up a specific eligible expense, or log into your Kazdon account for a complete list.

3. Keep Your Receipts
The IRS has specific rules for Dependent Care FSAs. Save receipts for each eligible expense you submit for reimbursement under your Dependent Care FSA. Make sure receipts include the following five pieces of information:

• Provider/Facility Name. The individual or facility that provided the service.
• Provider/Facility SSN of Tax ID. The Social Security Number or Tax I.D. of the individual or facility providing the services.
• Date of Service. The date when services were provided.
• Cost. The amount paid for the service.
