Flexible Spending Accounts

Flexible Spending Account 

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are a great way to save on income taxes while you budget for healthcare and dependent care  expenses. Your contributions to the FSAs are made with pre-tax dollars, meaning you pay no federal or Social Security taxes on that money and depending on your state, you may not have to pay state taxes either.

This leaves a smaller amount of your income subject to taxes. And when you pay less in income taxes, your take-home pay increases!

You also have the option of paying out-of-pocket and submitting the claim for reimbursement via online, fax or mail. Please note that this feature is not available for a DCFSA claim and that a form must be submitted for reimbursement.
