Does your employer offer pre-tax benefits?

Yes

Enroll during the open enrollment period for your employer’s plan -- You can sign up to be a part of your employer’s pre-tax benefit programs during open enrollment, which is typically between September and December for health care and dependent care pre-tax benefits, or at any time for commuter benefits. Talk to your employer’s HR director or benefits manager for more information about the enrollment process.

No

Suggest it for next year -- Send a note to your employer’s HR director or benefits manager with the suggestion to include all of these helpful pre-tax programs in your benefits package. These benefits are also valuable to companies who provide them because they reduce the company’s payroll taxes.

Not Sure

Pre-tax benefits are managed by your employer. Ask your employer’s HR director or benefits manager if one or more pre-tax benefits are part of your benefits package.
