What are FSAs and HSAs?
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are both tax-advantaged accounts designed to help individuals save money for qualified medical expenses. However, there are some key differences between the two:
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
– allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars from their paychecks to pay for eligible medical expenses.
– funds must be used within the plan year or be forfeited, known as the “use it or lose it” rule.
– expenses may include medical copayments, eyeglasses, over-the-counter medications, and certain medical supplies.
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
– available to individuals who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan
– contributions can be made by both employers and employees, and the funds contributed are tax-deductible or pre-tax.
– funds roll over from year to year and can be invested, allowing them to grow over time.
– can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses and certain medical services.
