Employers may also contribute to an employee&#8217;s FSA, and if an employee&#8217;s spouse has a separate plan, they can each contribute up to the maximum, totaling $6,600 for the household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unused amounts in FSAs that allow carryover can roll over up to $660 into 2025, an increase from $640 in 2024. This carryover does not affect the maximum salary reduction contributions allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taxpayers should review their healthcare options during open enrollment to maximize savings. Eligible employees must act before their medical plan year starts; self-employed individuals are not eligible for FSAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Need a new <a href=\"https:\/\/payroll.realtaxtools.com\/\">desktop payroll software to run payroll in-house<\/a> and pay employees, please download a free demo and the link below:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtaxtools.com\/download-payroll-mate-payroll-software.html\">https:\/\/www.realtaxtools.com\/download-payroll-mate-payroll-software.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IRS has reminded taxpayers that during the open enrollment period for flexible spending arrangements (FSAs), they can use tax-free dollars for medical expenses not covered by other health plans.
