Childcare federal spending account

Anyone have experience with using this?
My wife went back to work and we recently started using it this year. You can add up to 7,500 tax free funds to cover child care
It ends up saving us 2,300-2,500 dollars end of year

Yeah it’s 7,500 this year but looks to allow some savings for sure

It’s great for parents with young kids. I maxed it every year the kids were in preschool.
Could you imagine if it could be used for travel ball?

Yea I had it before, it’s a nice benefit. Pain in the arse to get your money refunded though, they heavily scrutinize the receipts, and daycares tend to not produce the types of receipts that the FSA audit is looking for
Edit: I still used it and got all my money, but every year it was a PITA going back and forth with the FSA company trying to get my expenses approved
