Summary:Provides background information on tax-advantaged accounts permitted under current law to help people pay for unreimbursed medical expenses, including flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health reimbursement accounts (HRAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), and Archer medical savings accounts (MSAs). Presents side-by-side comparisons of the principal features of FSAs, HRAs, HSAs, and MSAs, and reviews rules regarding eligibility, contributions, qualifying expenses, nonqualified withdrawals, and carryover of unused funds for the 2010 tax year. Discusses changes to these accounts resulting from enactment of P.L. 111-148, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended, and examines participation levels in tax-advantaged accounts.
