Q1--請教寶寶的保姆費用如何報稅？
If you didn't set up FSA, then you can get tax credit when you file tex return. The saving is less than using FSA, but you need to set up FSA before hand. If FSA is not used up, you cannot get it back.
Q2--我該向我的月嫂要些什麽手續來報稅嗎？
You need her name, address, SSN, and her to sign a form.
Q3--寶寶每年可省的稅有上限嗎？
This is determined by the tax credit limit and the FSA limit. It also depends on which basket you fall into based on your income.
If you pay more than 5000, definitely. You can get the FSA claim form from your company, or the FSA company. Fill it in, ask her to sign it monthly, or wait until you have paid her all $5000.
