Health Savings Account: distribution and tax questions
Review the current account process, available transactions, and tax questions for a Health Savings Account.
Account review
An HSA is individually owned and normally remains with its owner after a job change, but the purpose of a distribution changes its tax treatment.
Identify the reimbursement or payment you want
The HSA trustee can process a distribution. Separate a qualified medical-expense reimbursement from a nonmedical payment before the funds are requested.
Keep the expense record with the HSA record
A tax-free reimbursement depends on qualified expenses and supporting records. For another type of payment, the account, age, and tax-year facts need review.
