Health savings account FAQs

An HSA, or health savings account, is a tax-advantaged savings account for people who choose a high-deductible health plan for their health insurance.

 

The account owner (and sometimes their employer) can contribute funds to the HSA. Then, the money in the account can be used to pay qualified medical, dental, and vision care expenses.

 

There is no time limit for spending the funds in an HSA account.

 

HSAs also have a triple tax advantage, which means the account owner will not pay taxes on the account contributions, growth, or withdrawals.

  • You must have a high-deductible health plan to open an HSA.
  • You can make contributions to your HSA anytime. Some employers contribute to employee HSAs, too.
  • Then, you can let the money grow or use it to pay qualified medical expenses.

You are eligible as long as:

  • You have a high-deductible health plan.
  • You have no other health coverage, including Medicare.
  • No one claims you as a dependent on their tax return.

As long as you use the money to pay for qualified medical expenses, you can take money from your HSA tax-free anytime.

In general, contribute as much as you can up to this year’s IRS limits. To find the latest limits, visit the IRS website and search for Publication 969.

Unused funds at year-end can be carried forward to the next year.

You can spend the money as you please. However, if it’s not for a qualified medical expense, it will be considered income and taxed at the current rate. You can no longer make contributions to your HSA once you’re enrolled in any part of Medicare.
