Is there an IRS approved list of medical expenses that I can spend my tax free Health Savings Accounts funds on?
Yes, there is a list of allowable expenses published by the U.S. Treasury Department, actually the Internal Revenue Service, referred generally as the ‘213 (d)’ list, since it appears in IRS regulation 213 (d). Here is a link to the list of allowable/not allowable expenditures: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf. In general, you can spend tax-free from your Health Savings Account on all medical, dental (including braces for your children), and vision expenses, chiropractic visits, and even acupuncture, but not on your insurance premium, unless you are unemployed and are collecting Federal unemployment benefits. See our listing of HSA Eligible Expenses.
