Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, were created by Congress to combat rising medical costs by providing an incentive for more consumers to pay "first-dollar" medical expenses. An HSA is like an IRA that is designed exclusively for covering medical expenses incurred by the HSA account beneficiary and his or her dependants.
- Tax benefits
- HSA contributions, by employee or employer are excluded from income
- HSA earnings are tax deferred
- HSA assets are not taxed if used for qualified medical expenses
- Unused HSA assets may be used for retirement; however, they will be subject to a 10 percent penalty until the HSA account beneficiary turns age 65. If not used for medical expenses, they will be subject to income taxes
- Upon death, HSA assets become the property of a named death beneficiary, or of the HSA account beneficiary’s estate. A spouse may treat the assets as his or her own HSA, while non-spouse death beneficiaries must treat such assets as ordinary taxable income.
