What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

A Flexible Spending account (FSA) is an employer-sponsored benefit that enables you to pay for eligible medical expenses on a per-tax basis. An FSA saves you money by reducing your income taxes. And contributions you make to your flex spending account are deducted from your check before any of your taxes are calculated and are never reported to the IRS. The overall result is? You decrease your taxable income and increase your disposable income which can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year.

Especially, if you expect to incur child care expenses or medical expenses not reimbursed by your current health insurance, you should definitely think about participating in an FSA .
