[quote=Anonymous]Sorry that happened OP. Sometimes I used to wonder if these plans were really worth the stress/risk, but ultimately they generally are. The key is just to claim it every month starting in January until you've used it up. I have a high income but I still cared about getting that money back as quickly as possible. I make a (paper) checklist of all bills and financial tasks that I use throughout the year to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. That includes the one time things like an extra amount to our HSA to make sure we've hit the max, or my IRA contribution, or DHs SEP. I even put our regular contributions on it so I don't donate twice in a year (sometimes I get multiple mailings and forget who I've already sent a check to). I find that works better for me than calendar reminders.[/quote]
