Read MoreThe clock’s ticking on your flexible spending account (FSA). While many reach zero on this fund well before year end, others find themselves reaching for reasons to spend any remaining surplus. Plan now to get every cent out of the money you set aside for medical expenses.
Remember, FSA dollars are subject to the IRS “use it or lose it” rule – which means any money remaining is forfeited by you and won’t carry over to the next year. Some plans extend the qualifying expense deadline into March, so check your dates.
The good news is you have a multitude of options.

Go to your plan’s website for full list of qualifying, potentially qualifying and non-qualifying items.
Many retailers will be able to separate FSA-eligible items and non-FSA eligible items within a purchase. When in doubt, check your organization’s FSA plan. And be sure to save every receipt as you may be required to justify an expense. Keep in mind that these transactions can be reviewed for up to three years.
