<p>Somehow last year the amount didn’t show up on our W-2.<br>
Or maybe it was our insurance premium that didn’t show up. In any case one of them didn’t show up and so on the 1040 I had no info from my W-2 to transfer…I need to look at that again..sorry.</p>
<p>I’m thinking, this is probably an accounting issue, but since they (schools, SSS) tie things back to your 1040, it must make sense to itemize out the medical expenses, even if you don’t have enough to make them actually deducable. You can include them, but then they would zero out on the 1040 as a deduction if they were not over a certain percent of your income. That way they would match what you claim on the SSS form. </p>
<p>We have used camps - inexpensive ones - as child care and decided to include it as child care expenses in order to work vs. camps for the reasons listed. </p>
<p>I know our current school has said they don’t expect you to use equity in your home (although they don’t meet full need so…duh), but that most secondary schools do.</p>
