About GF Savings
Hi, I'm Taylor. I have celiac disease, and I go by Taylor online.
Gluten-free groceries cost more, and the extra cost is a medical expense the IRS recognizes when a doctor documents the diet. Most people never claim it because the paperwork is the problem: you have to find the gluten-free items on every receipt, find a comparable regular product, price it, and file only the difference. I did that by hand for a while and decided a tool should do it.
What the tool does
- Reads your grocery receipt and finds the gluten-free items.
- Matches each one to a comparable regular product and claims only the difference in price.
- Builds the claim packet, with the receipt, the comparison pages, and your doctor's letter, and tells you how your administrator wants it filed.
What it does not do
- It does not file for you. You submit to your FSA or HSA administrator yourself, and their rules and your employer's plan have the final say. We show you what your administrator publishes so there are no surprises.
- It does not give tax, legal, or medical advice.
- It does not store your doctor's letter. The letter is merged into your packet in your browser and never reaches our servers.
Honest about the money. The number we show is the cost difference you can reimburse from pre-tax dollars. If your account would otherwise go unused, it is worth the full amount; if not, it is worth the tax you save on it. Real trips have ranged from nothing to about $80, with most around $25. It adds up over a year, and it is money you are entitled to.
How I work
I post in celiac communities as Taylor, answer email personally at [email protected], and read every receipt that people send me for a look. If the tool gets something wrong on your receipt, tell me; every correction goes back into making it better.
Thanks for being here.
Taylor
