Dependent Care Flexible Spending
WHAT IS A DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT?
DCFSAs are tax-advantaged accounts that let you use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible dependent care expenses. A qualifying ‘dependent’ may be a child under age 13, a disabled spouse, or an older parent in eldercare.
AM I ELIGIBLE FOR A DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT?
Eligibility requires a DCFSA offered through your employer. DCFSAs can be combined with a standard FSA or an HSA. DCFSAs do not impact HSA eligibility.
