Please use this Publication with caution, because it is intended to assist taxpayers in determining their tax deductions, not to explain which expenses are reimbursable under a health care reimbursement account. For this reason, some of the statements in the Publication do not apply to health care reimbursement accounts. For example, the Publication states that a tax deduction is based on when you pay for an expense. In the case of a health care reimbursement account, an expense must be incurred during a Period of Coverage to be eligible for reimbursement from your account for that Period of Coverage, regardless of when you pay for it. Also, certain expenses listed in the Publication as deductible - such as insurance premiums and certain long-term care expenses - cannot be reimbursed from a health care reimbursement account.
This form is a guide only and is subject to change. Receipts must "clearly" state what over-the-counter medications were purchased to be reimbursed from FSA.
