FSA

Pre-tax health account

FSA is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.

In American healthcare, it stands for Flexible Spending Account—a tax-advantaged account for medical or dependent care expenses: I used my FSA to pay for new glasses.

In agriculture, FSA is the Farm Service Agency.

In British education, it was the Financial Services Authority until 2013.
