Late in 2016, the Internal Revenue Service released an announcement to remind eligible employees to commence their tax planning to take full advantage of their employer’s health flexible spending account, also known as a flexible spending arrangement (FSA), during 2017. A qualified tax professional may offer complete assistance to any working taxpayer fortunate enough to have access to an FSA. Employers are not required to offer FSAs. Thus, interested employees should consult with their employer for more information.
