    Your savings grow through investment earnings

    You use your pre-tax funds to pay current or future medical expenses.

    Your HSA stays with you regardless of change in employment or health coverage.

    Unused balance carries over from year to year.
  • Triple tax benefits:

Using Your HSA

You can use the money in the account to pay for any “qualified medical expense” permitted under federal tax law. This includes most medical care and service, and dental and vision care.

The following list is a sample of the qualified eligible medical expenses for HSA reimbursement.
(For more information, refer to Publication 502 on the IRS website at www.irs.gov.)

Acupuncture • Pediatrician • Ambulance • Podiatrist • Annual Physical Exam • Prenatal Care • Bandages • Prescription Medication • Chiropractor • Psychiatrist • Contact Lenses • Psychoanalyst • Dental treatment • Psychologist • Diagnostic Services • Specialists • Eyeglasses • Surgery • Gynecologist • Therapy • Hospital Services • Vaccine • Laboratory Fees • Vision Correction Surgery • Nursing Services • Weight Loss Programs • Obstetrician • Wheelchair • Optometrist • X-Rays • Orthodontist

You can use the money in the account to pay for medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or your dependent children. You can pay the expenses of your spouse and dependent children even if they are not covered by your High Deductible Health Care Plan. HSA distributions not used for qualified medical expenses are subject to ordinary income tax and if taken before age 65, a 20 percent IRS penalty tax will be assessed unless due to death or disability.

How are HSA distributions taxed?

Qualified distributions from your HSA are excludable from gross income. Any other distributions are included in your gross income and are subject to an additional 20% tax on the amount included, except in the following cases:

  • Your death
  • Your disability
  • You reach the age of 65

Any HSA distributions that are not rolled over will be taxed as income in the year they are distributed, unless used for qualified medical expenses. HSA custodians/ trustees are not required to determine whether HSA distributions are qualified. The qualified medical expenses must be incurred only after the HSA has been established.

When is the contribution deadline for funding an HSA?

Any contributions for the taxable year can be made in one or more payments, at the convenience of the individual or the employer, at any time prior to the time prescribed by law (without extensions) for filing the eligible individual’s federal income tax return for that year, but not before the beginning of that year. For calendar year taxpayers, the deadline for contributions to an HSA is generally April 15 following the year for which the contributions are made. Although the annual contribution is determined monthly, the maximum contribution may be made on the first day of the year.

What happens to my HSA in the event of my death?

If you are married and your spouse is your beneficiary, the HSA becomes his/her HSA. If your beneficiary is not your spouse, the HSA ceases to be an HSA effective on the date of your death. The proceeds will be included in the beneficiary’s gross income for the year of death.

Three ways to make contributions to your HSA:

  • Pre-tax salary deductions – if your employer offers this benefit, payroll deductions are exempt from most taxes (Check with your employer)
  • Employer contributions – made directly to your HSA by your employer
  • Direct contributions
    – Transfer from a personal account in person or online
    – Mail in a deposit

Five ways to withdraw funds from your HSA:

  • Debit card
  • ATM
  • Checks
  • Teller
  • Online Bill Payment
