Question

Where to enter Health Care FSA?

I can not find any info in Turbo Tax about Health Care FSA.  I can only find info about Health Savings Accounts (but that is something different)!  My W-2 shows $1,500 in box 14 "other".  This is what deducted from my paycheck for my Health Care FSA.  I entered this info in box 14 of Turbo Tax.  But then Turbo Tax never asks me anything else about this (like it does for my Dependent Care FSA).  Do I need to enter it anywhere else?  Do I need to specify if there is any carryover?  Turbo Tax asks me these questions for my Dependent Care FSA, why is it not asking me these questions for my Health Care FSA?

an FSA is not entered anywhere on your 1040. your taxable wages on your W-2 (box 1)  were reduced by the FSA contributions you made. That's where you get the tax deduction.

Thanks @Mike9241 .  Do I need specify somewhere that I spent all $1,500 of the Health Care FSA?  Or specify somewhere if there is any carryover?  I'm familiar with Dependent FSAs, and Turbo Tax asks those follow-up questions for Dependent FSAs, so I wanted to find out why it didn't ask me those follow-up questions for the Health Care FSA?  Thanks!

No, those questions are not asked when dealing with a Medical/Health FSA.  Nothing is reported on your return with regard to a Medical FSA.
