Reimbursement Accounts

Flexible Spending Accounts

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged account set up through an employer. An FSA allows an employee to set aside a portion of his or her income to pay for qualified health care, or dependent care expenses. Money deducted from an employee's income, for an FSA account, is not subject to payroll taxes, resulting in a substantial payroll tax savings.  LEARN MORE
