What error are you getting?  If they got dep care benefits but had no childcare, it should flow over and become taxable income to them.  

Do you have a ZERO in the child care box on the dependent worksheet for the dep that didn't have care?

I have to wonder if there's a piece of the puzzle missing.

Was anything forfeited?

There's supposed to be a plan administrator in charge and funds should not be disbursed unless substantiated with expenses.  It's a "use it or lose it" thing.

Me thinks OP was referring to an amount in Box 10 of the W-2 and taxpayer never spent it.
