Question 1

My employer offers an FSA, can I have both an FSA and an HSA?

admin · Accepted Answer

You can have both types of accounts, but only under certain circumstances. General Purpose Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs) will typically make you ineligible for an HSA. General purpose FSAs reimburse medical, vision and dental expenses for you, your spouse and your dependents. If your employer offers a “limited purpose” (limited to dental, vision or preventive care) or “post-deductible” (pay for medical expenses after the IRS deductible is met) FSA, then you can still be eligible for an HSA.
