For contributing a portion of their salary to cover health-related expenses.

Now let's see what advantages that Flex Spending Account have to provide.

FSAs Limit

If you are in the 25 percent tax bracket, you could save up to $670 yearly on taxes. 

However, you continue to have $2,700 to pay on essential medical expenses and gear.

The FSA can be used to purchase products such as medicines, contact lenses, and sunscreen etc.

Furthermore, because you are buying these items with pre-tax earnings, you are basically saving money.

FSAs are sometimes understood to be excessively difficult to access the funds, which is a big misperception.

Easier to Access

Many retailers like FSAmarket.com accepts FSA cards.

There are not many cons. People who consider an FSA have one major issue though.

People avoid FSAs due to fear of losing money because the validity of these cards is just a year.

However, the IRS has two options. A 2.5-month extension is possible. The second is a $500 carry forward to the next year.
