Pre-Tax Savings Plans
Casting Networks provides you with an opportunity to participate in two different Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) administered through TASC.
FSAs allow you to set aside a portion of your income, before taxes, to pay for qualified health care, dependent care and/or commuter expenses.
Because that portion of your income is not taxed, you pay less in Federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. The end result is that you
decrease your taxable income and increase your take-home pay. The FSA plan year is January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020.
