To qualify for an HSA Checking Account, you must have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and not be enrolled in Medicare. You also must not be claimed as a dependent on someone’s tax return.
If you make a withdrawal for a non-qualified medical expense before age 65, you will incur a penalty of 20% on the withdrawal. The amount you withdraw will also be subject to income tax. There is no penalty for non-qualified withdrawals after the age of 65, but they will still be subject to income tax.
BThe funds in your HSA checking account do not expire at the end of the year. There is no “use it or lose it” provision, like with Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), which makes it ideal for long-term savings.
There are limits to how much you can contribute to an HSA each year. Contribution limits are set by the IRS and may vary based on inflation and other factors. How much you can contribute also depends on whether you have individual or family HDHP coverage. If you are 55 and older, you can make additional "catch-up" contributions.
HSA funds can be used to pay for many qualified expenses that are not covered by insurance. In addition to routine medical costs, HSA funds can also be used to pay for certain OTC medications and supplies, family planning products, dental and vision care, and dependent care.
