An HSA is a special type of account that offers tax benefits on money put aside for future medical expenses. Anyone who buys a qualified high deductible health plan (one that meets the requirements the government has determined), qualifies for an HSA. You enjoy tax-deductible contributions, tax-deferred interest and tax-advantaged withdrawals for qualified medical expenses (these do NOT count towards meeting your deductible) OR for eligible expenses that qualify towards meeting your deductible. See “What is an eligible expense?” and “What is a qualified medical expense?” Unused balances from year to year roll over from year to year. Please refer to the IRS website for all applicable HSA guidelines which must be adhered to: IRS.Permalink • HideDon’t sue us! Fractured Atlas is not an insurance company.
