4 Start saving on your taxes

UC's Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Account (paired with UC Health Savings Plan) allow you to save money tax-free to pay for eligible expenses. Consider how much you should contribute this year. And remember, if you want to continue your Health and/or Dependent Care FSA you must re-enroll.
