Yes, that is what I am referring to. The Medical portion of the Flex Spending. It does not appear on the W-2. When a 125B plan is set up, the employer has the decision as to whether they want the Dependent care portion offered with the medical portion. From what it sounds like, the employer may have treated these funds as part of the medical portion and therefore, the W-2 itself is not incorrect. The easiest question to answer is did the employee have to have the money deducted from her check BEFORE she was able to get the money back as reimbursement. With the medical Portion of an FSA, the employer assumes some risk in that the employee is allowed to request money from the FSA before they have the amount deducted from the check...with the Dependent Care portion, the employer is not at risk because the money has to be deducted before the money can be reimbursed.
