Flexible, tax-free and so easy to use.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are authorized under the IRS code and allow employees to pay for qualifying medical, dental, vision and dependent care expenses on a tax-free basis. Eligible employees determine the amount they want to contribute to their Health Care FSA or Dependent Care FSA. The amount chosen by employees is automatically deducted pre-tax (meaning before FICA, federal and state taxes) from each paycheck during the plan year. The employees are then participants in the FSA and the pre-tax payroll deduction results in employees saving approximately 30% in taxes. Employers save on payroll taxes which helps to offset the cost of FSA administration.

Compliance
DBS is committed to providing our clients with the most current plan/regulatory information. DBS is a member of the Employers Council on Flexible Compensation (ECFC). ECFC is the premier trade organization which creates and promotes the most favorable regulatory environment for account based benefit plans. DBS is also a member of the International Foundation on Employee Benefit Plans (IFEB). Through both entities DBS receives regular legislative updates. DBS also receives guidance from legal counsel at DeWitt Ross and Stevens.
When legislative or regulatory changes occur, DBS notifies clients via mailings, email updates and website postings. When warranted, DBS also conducts webinars to update clients. If changes require Plan Document revisions, DBS can complete any appropriate amendments.
DBS performs the annual non-discrimination testing to ensure compliance with IRS regulations. DBS sends the client worksheets that need to be completed in order to properly conduct the tests. Once tests are completed results are communicated to the client.
