Health Savings Account (HSA) Planning & Guidance
Maximize Your HSA for Long-Term Financial & Retirement Benefits
A Health Savings Account (HSA) is more than just a way to pay for medical expenses—it’s a powerful tax-advantaged tool for saving, investing, and planning for retirement. At Alpine Investment Services, we help individuals and families make the most of their HSA to reduce taxes, grow wealth, and secure their financial future.
What is an HSA?
An HSA is a special savings account available to individuals with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). It allows you to save pre-tax dollars for qualified medical expenses while offering unique tax advantages and investment opportunities.
Key Benefits of an HSA:
Triple Tax Advantage:
- Contributions are tax-deductible.
- Earnings grow tax-free.
- Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free.
Long-Term Growth: Unused funds roll over each year and can be invested for long-term financial security.
Retirement Flexibility: After age 65, HSA funds can be used for any expense (taxed like a 401(k)), making it an additional retirement savings tool.
No Use-It-or-Lose-It Rule: Unlike FSAs, your HSA balance remains yours for life.
Eligibility Criteria:
To qualify for an HSA, you must:
- Be enrolled in an HSA-eligible HDHP.
- Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
- Not be enrolled in Medicare.
For detailed eligibility requirements, refer to the IRS guidelines.
Qualified Medical Expenses:
HSA funds can be used for a wide range of medical expenses, including but not limited to:
- Doctor visits and hospital services.
- Prescription medications.
- Dental and vision care.
- Certain over-the-counter medications.
For a comprehensive list of qualified expenses, consult the IRS guidelines.
