FSA also going up also 3050 to 3200

Ideally if you can, participate in as many as you can. Makes a big difference on taxable income. One thing to watch out for is hsa and fsa. You cannot have both and if you’re married you can’t have both between both spouses. For example if you have hsa then your wife cannot have fsa unless it is a limited coverage fsa for only dental and vision.

Another tax savings is some states offer 529 plans with a certain amount tax free. Nys offers up to 10k for married couples.

Can’t you only use HSA for medical expenses tho?
Once you turn 65 I believe you can use it for non-medical purposes. However, you have to pay income tax.

HSA's for qualified medical expenses are tax-free.

On it all. FSA, DCA, 529. Trying to make out on it all. For the uninitiated it’s just a way to get more of your money pre tax and lower the taxable income. Legal accounting tricks that ultimately put more of your money in your pocket that you worked for.
