how much money should i put in an fsa
The most you can put into the FSA account is up to your employer and the state you live in, but typically you can put up to $5,000 in the Health Care FSA and up to $5,000 in the Dependent Care one, with many plans requiring you to set aside at least $250 for next year.ou have 14.5 months, thanks to a 2.5 month grace period, to use the money in your FSA accounts (in other words, you have until March 15th of the following year, or 2013 for this season).
