Health Care Reimbursement Account Calculator Health Care Reimbursement Account Calculator Enter your expected health care expenses for 2018 that are eligible for reimbursement under the Health Care Flexible Spending Account. Information about eligible expenses is available in IRS Publication 502. Estimate your expenses carefully. Due to the IRS "use it or lose it" rule, you will forfeit any money remaining in your 2018 Health Care FSA after March 15, 2019, if you have not filed a claim for it by March 31, 2019. Use caution when referring to Publication 502, as it is meant only to help taxpayers determine their tax deductions, not to describe the expenses that are reimbursable under a Health Care FSA. For example, health insurance premiums, long-term care contracts, and long-term care services are listed as deductible expenses in the publication. However, they generally are not reimbursable from your Health Care FSA. In addition, over-the-counter drugs used to treat a medical condition may be reimbursable under a Health Care FSA but are not listed as deductible expenses. Please enter amounts in whole dollars (no decimal points, commas, or dollar signs).
