You direct a part of your pay into a special, tax-free account that you use to reimburse yourself for eligible out-of-pocket medical and dependent care expenses. Contributions used for FSAs are taken out of your salary before federal/state income taxes, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes are applied.
