Question: I participated with the FSA and/or DCA in 2011, should I expect to receive any type of tax document from you? For example, the 1099-SA form?

Answer: No, you will not receive any type of tax document through Polestar Benefits. Your FSA/DCA Tax Deductions are itemized on your W2. The 1099-SA form is specific for those participants that carry an HSA (Health Savings Account), Archer MSA (Medical Savings Account) or a Medicare MSA.

But don't forget to notify the administrator when this happens. There are different ways that contributions on a FSA-DCA are handled, including what access to the election$$$ a member has.  Check out what the US Department of Labor has to say on this topic!

1. If the cost charged for benefits increases, a change can be to:
- Make a corresponding increase
- Revoke the election

2. Change in Service Provider -
a. Terminating a provider and hiring a new provider, then a change is allowed to reflect the cost of the new provider
b. Terminating a provider because a relative becomes available to take care of the child at no charge, then an election can be cancelled
