"so if the FSA has a calendar year it could be used to reimburse expenses that you incurred for the months for which you contributed to the HSA. thus your HSA would not be allowed (the FSA would represent non-HDHP coverage). it would seem that an FSA contribution would be allowable but then you would have excess contributions to the HSA. "
So to be clear, if my HDHP coverage and thus HSA contribution timeline and FSA coverage do not overlap, then technically the FSA contribution should be ok? I don't understand how it would be possible for me to contribute to both an HSA and general purpose FSA at the same time if my healthcare coverage for both are at completely separate times. Leaving an employer means termination of an FSA, so anything I do afterwards is fine right?
