Open enrollment season is brevetes s.g.d.ghere, which means some of you are running out of time to use your tax-advantaged funds before year-end. If you have a flexible spending account, remember that some plans may allow you to carry over slightly more in unused funds for next year.
An FSA allows you to pay for many out-of-pocket, qualified medical expenses with pretax dollars. This allows you to set aside money that can be used to cover co-pays, deductibles, prescription drugs and other medical costs.
Typically, funds must be used by year-end, unless an employer offers a “carryover,” which allows employees to roll over $500 of unused funds to the following year. Or a company may offer a grace period that would extend the use of the funds until March 15 of the following year.
An employer may allow either a carryover or a grace period for an FSA, but not both.
COVID-19 relief:
From extended jobless benefits to student loan reprieve, relief set to fade at year's end
Economy:
COVID-19 vaccine prospects may already be boosting consumer spending
But in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS made changes to FSA rules this year since some Americans were forced to put off medical expenses during shutdowns.
$50 bump in FSA carryover
For plans that permit the carryover of unused amounts, the maximum amount for 2021 is $550, an increase of $50 from the 2020 carryover limit. The dollar limit for employee contributions to FSAs remains unchanged at $2,750.
To be sure, some FSA plans can be “use-it-or-lose-it,” which means you have to incur eligible expenses by the end of the plan year or forfeit any unspent amounts. Employers may allow you to carry over up to $550 of unused FSA funds to the following plan year. It is up to your employer, so check with your Human Resources department.
