Dependent care benefits
I participate in my company's dependent care FSA, and contributed 5K to it in 2022. My understanding is that this is all pretax dollars to decrease taxable income. I was looking back at my 2022 Tax filing, and on my Form 1040, in section 1e, it states that my "taxable dependent care benefits from form 2441" was 5K. This seemed to be added to my W2 income, and together, from what I gather, is being fully taxed.... It doesn't seem like the contribution to the FSA was removed from taxable income. So was I taxed on this amount and/or did I do something wrong?
