While going through all COVID madness in March, I completely overlooked the fact that IRS last day to file claim didn't change from March 31st. It looks like IRS only changed the date to file receipt but not a claim.
I typically, submit 1 transaction of 5K during tax time to get full reimbursement in this case 2019 contribution of my money to 2019 FSA.
Any thoughts, suggestions on if anything can be done here to recoup loss? It is my mistake, should never have waited beyond January but the hard way I learned during difficult times. :(
"Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the period of time you have to repay or submit documentation for any existing unsubstantiated 2019 claims under the Health FSA, Limited Purpose FSA, Dependent Care FSA or the HRA has been extended to May 31, 2020. No new claims can be filed for 2019."
