What is an Flexible Spending Account?
What is an Flexible Spending Account?
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is an excellent benefit program that can save you money! FSAs allow you to pay for medical, dental, vision and dependent care type expenses with tax-free money. FSAs allow you to save on your health care and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis. Because you do not pay Federal and Social Security taxes on money that goes into your FSA, you decrease your taxable income and potentially increase your spendable income. Using an FSA saves many people approximately 20-30% in taxes on their expenses! Click here to learn more about Flexible Spending Accounts.
