    Definitions 

    • Elective Deferral Limit means the maximum contribution that an employee can make to all 401(k) and 403(b) plans during the calendar year (IRC section 402(g)(1)).
       
    • Catch-up Contributions refers to the additional contribution amount that individuals age 50 or over can make above the Elective Deferral and Annual Contribution limits, if permitted by the company’s retirement plan.
        
    • Annual Contribution Limit means the maximum annual contribution amount that can be made to a participant's account (IRC section 415). This limit is expressed as the lesser of the dollar limit or 100% of the participant's compensation, and is applied to the combination of employee contributions, employer contributions and forfeitures allocated to a participant's account.
       
    • Annual Compensation Limit means the maximum compensation amount that can be considered in calculating contribution allocations and non-discrimination tests. A plan cannot consider compensation in excess of this amount (IRC Section 401(a)(17)).

  2. IRS Announces 2022 Pre-Tax Contribution Limits

    System Administrator – Wed, 10 Nov 2021 16:00:00 GMT – 0
    The Internal Revenue Service recently announced annual inflation adjustments for 2022. For taxable years beginning in 2022, IRS Rev. Proc. 2021-45 indicates the following maximums apply for Health Flexible Spending Arrangements, Adoption Assistance Programs, and Commuter Benefits:
     

    Health FSA

    The annual Health FSA limit will increase $100 from $2,750 in 2021 to $2,850 in 2022.

    The annual Dependent Care FSA limit will revert to $5,000 in 2022.
     

    FSA Balance Rollovers

    The increase of the Health FSA limit means an increase to the Health FSA rollover amount allowed for 2022. Up to $570 (20% of the regular election maximum) will be rolled from the 2022 plan year into the 2023 plan year.

    Dependent Care FSA balances from 2022 will not roll into 2023. Any balance that remains in the Dependent Care FSA after the 2022 claims submission deadline will be forfeited.
     

    Commuter Benefits Limits

    The monthly transit and parking limits will increase from $270 in 2021 to $280 in 2022.
     

    Adoption Assistance Limit

    The annual Adoption Assistance limit will increase from $14,400 in 2021 to $14,890 in 2022.


    If you are a Vita Flex FSA client who currently offers the IRS maximum and your plan renews January 1, 2022, your limits have been automatically increased for the 2022 plan year, unless you previously requested otherwise.

    If you are a Vita Flex Commuter Benefits client, the monthly pre-tax limit will be automatically increased to the IRS maximum for the January benefit month.
