I got married, so that is a qualifying life event. I went into my FSA and changed cancelled all future contributions and submitted receipts in the amount of the remaining balance, so I essentially cashed-out the FSA. So, that FSA is essentially terminated.
Two days later, I used the QLE to switch health care plans to an HDHP with an HSA, and I now have an HSA. I know you can't have an FSA and an HSA at the same time, but some of the things I've seen online say you can't even have them both in the same year. Can someone shed some light on this? Am I eligible to contribute up to the HSA maximum for this year? Am I violating some tax code by even HAVING an HSA right now, when I had a FSA earlier this year (but that was officially terminated before opening the HSA?)
Thanks for any advice.
