Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

A dependent care flexible spending account (FSA), or dependent care assistance program, allows you to pay for certain expenses on a tax-free basis. If you care for a dependent, this may be for you!

Each pay period, money moves from your paycheck into your dependent care FSA. As long as you’re paying for an eligible expense, the money is tax-free.

HEALTHCARE FSA

This FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses for yourself or any other person you claim as a dependent for your federal income tax purposes. Pre-tax deductions for the Healthcare FSA cannot exceed $3,400 for 2026. Team members or qualified beneficiaries who were eligible for this FSA are eligible to rollover dollars up to $680 in the new plan year. Here is a list of common Medical Care FSA eligible expenses.
