2441 Requirement

[Pacun]

I have a client whose W-2 has 2K on box 10. I asked her about the provider information and said she couldn't get anything because all the documentation was submitted to the FSA to get reimbursed. Because we have been emailing back and forth, I want to make sure I am correct (I am pretty sure I am) but here is the question:

To avoid those 2k to be added back to line 7 and become taxable income, I need to provide name, address and FEIN from the day care center, correct?

Yes.

Telling the client that the money becomes taxable income may be the impetus she needs to suddenly find "copies she had forgotten about" or to get new ones from the day care provider.

Thank you.
