Define Box 10 dependent care topic

Select up to four deduction codes, a deduction class, or deduction group to identify deductions associated with dependent care benefits in the Dependent Care Ded, Ded Class data items.

Note: The total of the amounts associated with the deductions you select prints in Box 10 of the W-2 form and is reported on the employee wage electronic file.

You can also select a pay class. The pay class lets you report amounts paid to a third party for day care, but added to employees' taxable income as a time record adjustment (amount in excess of $5,000 is taxable).

A Box 10 pay class is used in combination with either a deduction code or a deduction class.

Note: Use the expanded view if you must specify more than one deduction code.
