1 Health Savings Accounts (HSA)
November 16, 2016

2 What is a HSA? What are some potential advantages of health savings accounts? You decide how much money to set aside for health care costs (medical, dental, vision, prescription, etc) Your employer may contribute to your HSA, but you own the account and the money is yours even if you change jobs. Any unused money at the end of the year rolls over (stays in your account) to the next year (unlike a FSA) You don't pay taxes on money going into your HSA HSA contributions are not subject to the irrevocable election rule, so employees are not locked in at their original contribution amount Contributions are excluded from federal income tax Withdrawals for eligible expenses are exempt from federal income tax Unused money is held in an interest-bearing savings or investment account Account can be used as a retirement plan for your health care expenses Debit cards can be used for expenses Funds can be used to pay for expenses of spouses and dependent children

3 Investing Employees can deposit funds into their account and earn tax-free interest and investment income year after year. With a HSA, as long as the funds are used for qualified medical expenses, account holders never pay taxes on the money – it’s not a tax-deferred account like an IRA or a 401(k), it’s actually a tax-free account. $2,000 minimum in HSA to invest Mutual Fund selection option managed by DEVENIR Self directed brokerage option powered by TD Ameritrade (trading fees may apply).
