The Dependent Care Spending Account lets you use pre-tax dollars to reimburse yourself for the cost of eligible child or dependent care expenses that are necessary for you – or, if you are married, you and your spouse – to work or to attend school. With a Dependent Care Spending Account, full-time you can set aside up to $4,800 on a pre-tax basis to cover dependent care expenses for the year. (The annual amount reimbursed cannot exceed the earned income of the lower-paid spouse or $5,000, whichever is less. If married and filing separate tax returns, it cannot exceed $2,500.) To be eligible to use this account, you must be at work during the time your eligible dependents are receiving care.<\/p>\n
