Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) provide you with an important tax advantage that can help you pay for health care and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis. By estimating your family’s health care and dependent care costs for the next year, you can lower your taxable income and save money.

Health Care FSA 

This program allows you to pay for certain IRS-approved medical care expenses not covered by your medical plan with pre-tax dollars. The maximum you can contribute to your Health Care FSA is $3,050. Some examples of eligible expenses include:

• Copays and coinsurance
• Hearing services, including hearing aids and batteries
• Vision services, including contact lenses, contact lens solution, eye exams and eyeglasses
• Dental services and orthodontia
• Chiropractic services

Limited Purpose FSA

The Limited Purpose FSA allows you to use pre-tax dollars for qualified dental and vision only.

Dependent Care FSA 

The Dependent Care FSA allows you to use pre-tax dollars toward qualified dependent care such as caring for children under the age 13 or caring for elders. The annual maximum amount you may contribute to the Dependent Care FSA is $5,000 (or $2,500 if married and filing separately) per calendar year. No funds can be rolled over.

Examples include:

• The cost of a child or adult dependent care facility, the cost for an individual to provide care either in or out of your house, nursery schools and preschools (excluding kindergarten).
