IRS Rev. Proc. 2024-40 gives the 2025 contribution and benefit limits for health flexible spending arrangements (FSAs), qualified small-employer health reimbursement arrangements (QSEHRAs), long-term care (LTC) policies, transportation fringe benefits and adoption assistance programs. The 2025 figures reflect the increase in the average chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) for the 12 months ending Aug. 31, 2024, after applying statutory rounding rules.
