Among them was a proposal to make overnight camp no longer an eligible expense for the child-care credit.

I am now working to try to include student health fees and transportation costs, but currently these do not yet count as eligible expenses.

Outside the home, expenses eligible for the credit include day care, nursery school and summer camp.

An amount paid to a licensed medical practitioner is an eligible medical expense.

Day camp, however, will remain an eligible expense.

Eyeglasses, if prescribed, are eligible medical expenses.

Labor costs for onsite preparation, assembly, or original installation are included as eligible expenses.

Monies used for these eligible expenses are excludable from gross income subject to federal taxes.

Everyone else will have to search for eligible expenses to be able to get over the 2 percent threshold.

The account can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses, including vision and dental care, not covered by insurance.
