125 REIMB INCLUDE TAX?

When reimbursing for 125 medical expenses do you also reimburse the tax paid (specifically OTC drugs) and/or shipping when ordering on-line?

That's really a good question. Your TPA should be able to give you the answer or look at the summary plan description. Let us know what you find. I'd be interested in the answer too.

Well, I finally got a call back telling me that an employee need not break down the cost between tax, shipping, etc. when submitting the expense. Thanks for your response.

There's tax on over the counter drugs? I didn't think so. Or maybe it's a state thing, in FL we don't pay tax on advil or tums.

I can see paying the shipping. Even mileage to go to the dr's can be covered under FSAs.
