Flexible Spending Accounts

Learn how you can keep more of the money you earn!

You have probably heard the term “Flexible Spending Account” or FSA before.

People always talk about these as a great way to save “pre-tax dollars.”

But you might not know exactly what an FSA is and just how it can save you money.

And you might have questions such as:

  • How much will I save by contributing to an FSA?
  • What are “pre-tax dollars” ?
  • How much should I contribute?
  • Does the money I put in an FSA earn interest?
  • What forms will I need? Where do I get them?
  • Can I change the amount I put into my spending account later in the year?
  • What are the risks of taking part in a health care or dependent care FSA?
  • What forms will I need? Where do I get them?
