Client Alert: IRS Announces Increases for Health FSAs

Client Alert: IRS Announces Increases for Health FSAs

IRS Announces Increases for Health FSAs  

The IRS has just released its 2019 annual inflation adjustments, in which it announced that the dollar limitation under Code section 125 on voluntary employee salary reductions for contribution to health flexible spending arrangements (health FSAs) is increasing to $2,700 for 2019. The limitation for 2018 is $2,650. The authority for this increase can be found in Rev. Proc. 2018-57: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rp-18-57.pdf. This link takes you to the IRS annual inflation adjustments for more than 60 tax provisions.

Although open enrollment season is about to be in full swing for most, employers should ensure that their salary reduction agreements and related enrollment materials are updated to reflect this increase. Additionally, employers will want to review their Code section 125 cafeteria plan documents to ensure these also allow for such an increase.
