Tax-advantaged accounts

Tax-advantaged accounts

Save money on your healthcare and dependent care expenses with our tax-advantaged accounts, administered by Fidelity. Our valuable, tax-free accounts allow you to set aside money before taxes are taken out, which lowers your taxable income.

Here’s how it works:

  • Contributions: Money is deposited into your account before taxes, reducing your taxable income.

  • Withdrawals: The money comes out tax-free when you use it for eligible expenses.

Review each account to find out which ones are right for you.
