会计高手，那个小孩参加的Summer Camp可不可以看作是Child Care算在flexible
spending account里啊？先谢了。 |

this is actually a complicated issue. according to IRS you need to separate
the expenses you pay for your kids to receive education, and the expenses
you pay for your kids to receive child care. In practice, people just mix
them all together.
IRS gives this rather interesting example.
"Camp. The cost of sending your child to an overnight
camp is not considered a work-related expense.
The cost of sending your child to a day camp may be
work-related expense, even if the camp specializes in a
particular activity, such as computers or soccer."

不能上班赚钱。
之所以tax deductible就是为了鼓励父母多工作，多创造税收和社会财富。
我是这么理解tax code的，当然tax code就是用来钻空子用的。
