Deductions & credits

Thanks for your response,  Julie!  I should have clarified (post has now been edited).  I would like to know if I can contribute to a General Purpose FSA (not a Limited Purpose FSA). 

 

Also, I understand that "generally speaking, you cannot have a FSA and HSA at the same time", however my situation seems like an exception.  Are there any exceptions available for my situation (switching jobs during the same tax year)?  I find it hard to believe that this hasn't ever come up before in the history of the IRS, so I'm looking for guidance on what I am allowed to do for this particular situation.
