How do Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Work
Together?
IRS rules prohibit an employee from contributing to a Healthcare
FSA and an HSA at the same time.
In addition, you may not contribute to an HSA while your spouse is
contributing to an FSA through his or her employer. Conversely, a
spouse may not contribute to an FSA while you are contributing to
an HSA. Unlike the FSA, HSA funds are not available until they have
been accumulated in your HSA bank account.
