<p>Enter the total amount withheld or to be withheld from your parents’ wages in 2014 to contribute to a flexible spending account for medical expenses.</p>
<p>Do I find this information on W2 forms? There is a section called “Medicare tax withheld” not sure if that is the same thing?</p>
<p>Medicare tax withheld and FSA contributions are different things. Not everyone contributes to a flexible spending account, so this may not apply to your parents depending on their specific health care plan. </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>If your parents contribute to an FSA, the amount could be in box 14 but I don’t think employers are necessarily required to put it there. Ask your parents if they contribute to a medical FSA. </p>
<p>ETA: If your parents are contributing to an FSA it should be shown in the pre-tax section of their paystubs.</p>
<p>You need to ask your parents for that information. The money is usually not mentioned on the W-2 because it is not reported as income…the IRS is unaware of that money changing hands from employer to employee to FSA account.</p>
