don't forget to sign up for any dependent care FSA benefits if that's offered for you ($5k/yr max per household - single and married filing jointly).

I have done that for the past couple years but I stopped this year.   Getting invoices and filling out the claims was just too big of a pain in the ass.   I went to college so I didnt have to do that crap.

I guess I should do the math to see how much Im really leaving on the table there.

lol, i file it once (once i already spent the $5k - usually sometime in May/June) and submit the whole thing and it gets paid out throughout the rest of the year even when i didn't contribute the whole $5k yet. I'll do it once, but yes, filing multiple claims is a royal PITA...
