Helpful. Didn't realize all that.

Curious...why the extra paperwork for buying something at Amazon? Is it because there isn't the visibility into what was actually purchased there vs. the pharmacy providing that detail somehow?

Example today. I got to the store and I buy some Claritin along with my normal stuff. Notice that Claritin is FSA/HSA qualified. Would I get a receipt for the ~$20 or so in spend and file reimbursement to save maybe $7 (we're in a state with no income tax so it's only federal)? Probably not...

For the big expenses I get but frankly I think it's a lot of little expense like this adding up and so that's why I'm looking for an easier way to spend this money if I go this direction.

Thanks. I'm checking on this right now but it appears that might not have a high deductible health plan. So it seems like FSA would be the path we would have to go. Not sure if that changes the advice at all.
