Use up flexible spending account (FSA) balances. If you participate in employer-sponsored health care or dependent care FSAs, which let you use pretax dollars to pay for eligible expenses, make sure you spend the full balance before the plan-year deadline (sometimes up to 75 days into the following year); otherwise, you'll forfeit what's left over. You can use your surplus health care FSA balance for things like over-the-counter medications, glasses or contact lenses. Conversely, if your account is empty, consider postponing non-critical medical expenses until early next year so they can count toward your 2010 FSA. See IRS Publication 502 for a complete list of allowable and non-allowable expenses (www.irs.gov). Charitable contributions. If you itemize deductions on your taxes, charitab...
IRS guidelines on allowable living expenses Increases in compromise offers made to the IRS since the process simplification in 1992 should further increase with the Aug 29, 1995 revisions to living expense provisions in the Internal Revenue Manual.

Double-check the deadline with your benefits department. If there's money left in your Health Care FSA, consider qualified purchases you could make before the d...

Use up Flexible Spending Account balances. Health care and dependent care FSAs (also known as reimbursement accounts) let you use pretax dollars for expenses you would have had anyway-thereby lowering your taxable income and thus, your taxes. But factor in your plan's 2007 spending deadlines so you don't forfeit any leftover dollars. Many employers now allow a grace period of up to 75 days to use up 2007 account balances; ask your Benefits department to be sure. If there's money left in your health care FSA, consider qualified purchases you could make before the deadline, such as new eye glasses, contact lenses, braces or over-the-counter medicines. Check IRS Publication 502 for a complete list of allowable expenses at www.irs.gov. On the other hand, if you've already used up your 2007 ...

Taxation of incentives and expenses The IRS has released its "Hospital Physician Recruitment Guidelines" which identifies allowable physician recruitment activities for hospitals operating as tax-exempt organizations.
