A (Section 125) Cafeteria Plan allows you to pay for certain employer-sponsored benefits with pretax dollars. Some examples of coverage that may be eligible for pretax premiums include health, dental, cancer, hospital, and accident policies. In most cases, if the premiums are paid on a pretax basis, the benefits will be subject to income tax. Elections to pay for a benefit in pretax dollars under a Cafeteria Plan are generally required to be effective for a 12-month period. They may not be changed during that election period unless you have a change in status such as death, marriage, divorce, adoption, birth, or a change in your spouse’s employment status.
Medical Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to pay for qualifying medical expenses on a pretax basis. Expenses can come from family medical deductibles, copayments, eye care expenses, prescription drugs, and family dental expenses. It is allowable to exempt medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, and all dependents you list on your federal tax return.
Dependent Care Accounts allow dependent care expenses for children under age 13, or a disabled spouse or person of any age who is unable (mentally or physically) to take care of him or herself and who spends at least eight hours a day in your home, to be deducted from your paycheck. The maximum dollar amount allowable under IRS regulations is $5,000 ($2,500 if married and filing separately) per plan year.
