DCAAccount user? File IRS form 2441
If you participated in the Dependent Care Advantage
Account in 2002, your DCAAccount contributions will
appear in Box 10 on your W-2 form. You MUST complete IRS
Form 2441 (or Form 1040A Schedule 2 Child and Dependent
Care Expenses for 1040A filers) when you file your income
tax returns for 2002. Complete this form even if you
enrolled for the Employer Contribution only.
You can get this form online at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2441.pdf or from your local post office or
tax preparer.
Failure to submit IRS Form 2441 may result in an IRS
audit.
Do you still have a balance in your 2002 DCAAccount? You
have until March 31 to submit reimbursement claim forms
for dependent care expenses services you used in 2002.
