• You can have an HSA and a Limited-Purpose FSA or a Dependent Care FSA simultaneously.
• You cannot have a general Health FSA along with an HSA.
• If you have an HSA, you can still participate in an FSA for dental and vision expenses or dependent care costs.
• If you switch from an FSA to an HSA mid-year, you should be careful with the timing to avoid tax implications.
