Hello, I am new to this list. I have not quite seen an answer to my scenario in the archives that I've seen online, so thought I'd join the list and ask.
I'm in the USA, and my employer offers a Dental/Vision health reimbursement account. Each year, the employer will reimburse up to $200 for each person in my family to use for dental/vision. When I use the benefit, I put the charge on a credit card, then submit a reimbursement form, and then the company writes me a check. Right now, I'm just using an A/R account to basically zero-out the difference between the credit card charges and the deposits of the reimbursement checks. The benefit of doing it this way is that it doesn't show up on my monthly income statement as an expense that corresponds to some income. Details below: First, my account structure: Assets:Checking Liabilities:Credit Card Assets:Receivable:Health Reimbursement Arrangement Transactions: Medical appointment: Debit -> Liabilities:Credit Card Credit -> Assets:Receivable:Health Reimbursement Arrangement Reimbursement: Credit -> Assets:Checking Debit -> Assets:Receivable:Health Reimbursement Arrangement What I'd like to do, though, is figure out a way to track how much is left for each person in the family. The fiscal year for this HRA begins on July 1, so theoretically I'd like to be able to post an "employer contribution" on July 1 and then have these sorts of expenses debit away that amount. If I ever fail to totally use up my allowance in a year, I guess I'd just make a write-off expense account or something. But I can't figure out where to create an account for tracking the unspent money in the HRA. Thanks for any suggestions!
