FSA W2 Box 10

I have a client with a W2 that does not have anything in box 10 dependent care.  They appear to have an FSA account because the earnings summary with the W2 shows a pre-tax deduction of $5,000.  Is there any reason that this is not shown on Box 10 of the W2 or is it just an error?

 

Thanks

Dependent care is a different benefit.

Are you saying that FSA Dependent Care Payroll deductions do not go in Box 10 of W2?

The employee has to specify the FSA$$ is for Dependent Care and the amount. If they just did an FSA without any specified amounts for Dependent care then there will be no amount in box 10.

How were the dependent care expenses paid?
