Your Reimbursement Accounts

Reimbursement accounts are a valuable benefit that lets you have money deducted automatically from your pay — before taxes are withheld — and set aside for certain expenses. There are two types of accounts: a Health Care Reimbursement Account and a Dependent Care Assistance Plan. Both help you better manage your money by letting you set aside a certain amount to be used for health care and/or dependent care expenses. And both help you save on taxes. You pay no federal income or Social Security taxes on your contributions to a reimbursement account. And in most cases, your contributions are exempt from state and local taxes as well. Your tax advisor can tell you if this exemption applies in your state.
