Taking Advantage of FSAs

My company offers a Flexible Spending Account. What even is that?
Flexible Spending Accounts, or FSAs are tax-advantaged accounts that you can use to pay for eligible expenses like medical bills, prescriptions, or even some dependent care costs. The expenses that are eligible depend on the type of FSA.
There are 3 types of FSAs: Health Care, limited Expense Health Care and Dependent Care. You set aside a portion of your paycheck into the FSA before taxes are taken out, which means you save money on your taxable income.
The catch? FSAs have a use-it-or-lose-it rule. You have to spend the money in the account by the end of the plan year or by a grace period if your plan offers one, or you’ll lose it. Some plans let you carry over a small amount into the next year, so check with your plan provider.
Overall, FSAs can be a great way to manage your healthcare and dependent care expenses while saving on taxes. Just remember to keep track of your spending so you don’t leave any money on the table!
