My wife and I each have access to a medical flexible spending account (FSA). How much can we contribute?

The dollar limit for contributions to a medical FSA for 2015 is $2,550. Each spouse can contribute up to this limit as long as each works for an employer offering such a plan. This enables a couple to exclude from their taxable compensation a total of $5,100. This is so even if both spouses work for the same company.

Capital expenses

Costs that are not currently deductible and that are added to the basis of property. A capital expense generally increases the value of property. When added to depreciable property, the cost is deductible over the life of the asset.
