Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are tax-advantaged personal savings accounts that provide a way to save for current and future medical expenses. Your HSA can be used to cover small and routine medical expenses until your deductible is met. To be eligible for an HSA you must covered by a qualified high deductible health plan (HDHP), below Medicare eligibility age, and not covered by any other health plans. You cannot be claimed as a dependant on someone else’s tax return.

  • HSA contributions are tax deductible.
  • Unspent balances may carry over and accumulate year after year.
  • HSA earnings and distributions may be tax free if used for qualified medical expenses.
  • You, not your employer, owns the HSA and you make decisions regarding contributions and distributions.
  • Your funds are “portable” and remain with you even if you change jobs or leave the workforce.
  • Unused HSA funds may be withdrawn at age 65 years or over without penalty, however, they may subject to tax.
  • Withdrawals used for purposes other than qualified medical expenses may be subject to a 10% penalty if withdrawn before the HSA beneficiary turns 65 years of age. Assets withdrawn for non-medical reasons will be subject to income taxes.

    *Consumers should check with their tax advisor to determine eligibility for tax deductibility.
