How WikiCPA Works

Inspired by Wikipedia, WikiCPA’s content is created by people like you, sharing your knowledge and experience with others in and out of your field.

As content is added from all the specialty areas of a Certified Public Accountant, methods for reviewing and analyzing common connections, working methods and experiences will be developed.

If you are familiar with using Wikipedia.org, then you already know how to contribute. If not, it’s easy to learn. Try our tutorial. To get started, click here.

Featured Article

Health Savings Account's (HSAs) operate similar to flexible spending accounts (FSAs) that some employers currently offer to their employees who want to defer their own money into an account on a pretax basis to be used to reimburse their out-of-pocket medical expenses. These funds may then be withdrawn tax-free to reimburse the account beneficiary for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Unlike an FSA, however, whatever’s left in the HSA at year-end can be carried over to the next year. In addition, HSAs can be set up by the self-employed or even a nonworking spouse.

The most significant requirement is that HSAs are only available to individuals who only carry health insurance coverage with relatively high annual deductibles. By that, we mean their 2007 health insurance coverage must come with at least a $1,100 deductible for single coverage or $2,200 for family coverage.
