You can save money on your medical and/or dependent (daycare) expenses with a Flexible Spending Account. You set aside funds each pay period on a pre-tax basis and use them tax-free for qualified expenses. You pay no federal, state, or Social Security taxes on your contributions. Your Flexible Spending Account contributions are deducted from your paycheck before taxes are withheld, so you save on income taxes and have more disposable income.
