IRS Releases 2023
FSA Contribution Limit
Client Alert Applies To: Self-Funded, Fully-Funded, Large Group, and Small Group
The IRS recently released *Revenue Procedure 2022-38 (Rev. Proc. 2022-38), confirming that for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, the health Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contribution limit will increase to $3,050. The adjustment for 2023 represents a $200 increase to the 2022 health FSA contribution limit of $2,850.
The original $2,500 contribution limit is adjusted annually based on a complex cost-of-living calculation tied to certain consumer price index increases. The high inflation levels in 2022 were sufficient to boost the health FSA salary-reduction contribution limit by $200, to a maximum of $3,050 for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Rev. Proc. 2022-38 also increases the 2023 maximum carryover limit for the health FSA to $610 (up from 2022’s limit of $570).
