Written by BAS | Feb 1, 2024 2:58:25 PM

Q.- An employee enrolled in our Dependent Care FSA during open enrollment. He didn’t realize what the plan was and he doesn’t have any children. Can we cancel his election and give him back the contributions that were withheld from his pay so far this year?

A.- Probably yes. You can claim mistake of fact and put the contributions as taxable income in his upcoming pay.
