Dependent Care FDA - Carry Overt Funds

I can't figure out how to answer the following question:

Enter the amount of any excess contribution that you carried over from 2023 that you used to pay qualified expenses during the grace period in 2024.

Is this referring to funds that were reimbursed during the grace period or expenses that were incurred during the grace period? I filed a claim during the grace period in early 2024 to be reimbursed for dependent care expenses incurred in the end of 2023. Do these count as carry over since I was reimbursed in 2024? Or not, since the dependent care charges that I am being reimbursed for were incurred in 2023?

Thanks!

No- the care expenses incurred at the end of 2023 do not count as carryover. Carryover would mean that you did not spend the amount in 2023, and instead you used what was "carried over" against expenses incurred in 2024.

You can answer "no" to the question and continue on.
