I\u2019ve just been made a partner in a partnership. As an employee, I was participating in the company\u2019s Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) plan. I\u2019ve been told I can no longer participate. Can a partner participate in an FSA? Answer: FSAs, sometimes called \u201cFlexible Spending Accounts\u201d, are generally setup for reimbursement of medical or dependent care expenses. Partners in a partnership (including LLCs and other similar entities that have elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes) are considered self-employed individuals. As such, they are not eligible to participate in an FSA sponsored by the partnership in which they are a partner.
