Overview

All over-the-counter expenses are also subject to an IRS rule against stockpiling. This means you may not purchase over-the-counter medicines or products in “stockpile” quantities (quantities you will not be able to consume within the Plan Year). A product is considered “consumed” if the packaging is opened. Undoubtedly, the day-to-day application of the IRS rules against stockpiling can be difficult to understand.

Vita Guidelines

As a general policy, Vita will approve claims for three or fewer of an item in a single purchase.
