Client's w-2 line 10 shows dependent care benefit=100, input in W-2 income, received 2 diagnostics on it. Can anyone advise how to remove these? Thanks!

Federal

Child care provider #1: If an employer furnished dependent care, enter only the name of the person or organization providing the care. Remove any other entries related to this provider. US - Ref #60916

MA

One or more Federal W-2, Box 10, Dependent Care Benefits, amounts have been entered on this return. Massachusetts does not conform to the Federal increased exclusion from gross income for employer-provided dependent care assistance. Massachusetts exclusion amounts continue to be $2,500 for married filing separate returns and $5,000 for all other taxpayers. Verify the excess was correctly included as MA wages on the W-2(s), and if not, adjust accordingly. MA - Ref #56694

    Complete the 2441 input for the childcare paid for?

    But they didn't pay to any child care provider...

    Then it is additional taxable income.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
