You can save money on healthcare and dependent care expenses with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) by paying for them with tax-free funds. FSAs allow you to set aside a certain amount from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. Then, you can use money tax-free to pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare and dependent care expenses.

Tax-advantaged accounts make a difference!

Flexible Spending Accounts

Using an FSA is like getting a discount on everyday health and/or dependent care expenses because you’re paying with tax-free money.

There are separate FSAs for health care and dependent care.

Nutanix offers you two types of FSAs:

Tax AdvantageHealthcare FSA

Healthcare FSA

  • Pay for eligible healthcare expenses, such as plan deductibles, copays, coinsurance, vision and dental expenses (including orthodontia).
  • Contribute up to $2,700 in 2019.

Tax AdvantageDependent Care FSA

Works like a bank account.

Pay for eligible dependent care expenses, such as day care for a child, that are necessary for you and/or your spouse to work, look for work, or attend school full time:

  • Contribute up to $5,000 in 2019, or $2,500 if married and filing separately.
iconEstimate carefully

Keep in mind, FSAs are “use it or lose it” accounts — you forfeit any money left at the end of the year.

The FSAs are administered by VitaFlex. Review the VitaFlex: FSA Claims Overview for more information about how to submit claims for reimbursement from your FSA.
