Dependent Care Reimbursement Account Estimator (for Active Employees')

Enter your expected expenses for the year ahead to provide care for an eligible child or an adult dependent so that you can work. Estimate your expenses carefully. Due to the IRS "use it or lose it" rule, you will forfeit any money remaining in your Dependent Care Reimbursement Account at the end of the plan year if you have not filed a claim for it by the April 15 claim deadline for that year.

Also, keep in mind that you may be eligible to take advantage of the federal tax credit for child and dependent care as an alternative to using the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account. You may wish to consult a tax advisor to determine whether the federal tax credit or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account is best for you.

Please enter amounts in whole dollars (no decimal point, comma, or dollar sign).
