Tax season and dependent care FSA paperwork are nobody's idea of fun. Your Enrichment.kids account now has a Taxes & Receipts section that helps. Pick a child, open a provider, and download a separate PDF receipt for each camp. One registration per file, which is exactly what dependent care and FSA plans ask for, with the provider's name, dates, amount, and EIN when it's on file.

If this makes reimbursement easier, let other parents know in the comments.
