FSA, or Flexible Spending Accounts, serve as a tax-advantaged way to set aside money from an employee’s paycheck for qualified medical expenses and other costs. FSA contribution limits are set annually by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the maximum contribution limit for 2025 is yet to be determined.
By utilizing an FSA, individuals can reduce their taxable income by the amount of their FSA contributions. These contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, meaning they are deducted from an employee’s paycheck before taxes are calculated. This can provide significant tax savings, particularly for those with high medical expenses or other eligible costs.
