Yes, you may have more than one HSA and you may contribute to them all, as long as you are currently enrolled in an HDHP. However, this does not give you any additional tax advantages, as the total contributions to your accounts cannot exceed the annual maximum contribution limit. Contributions from your employer, family members, or any other person must be included in the total.
Yes. You always have the option to choose when and when not to use your HSA dollars. You may pay for qualified medical expenses with after-tax dollars, allowing your HSA balance to grow tax-free. Many HSA participants elect to pay smaller expenses with after-tax dollars, allowing their balances to grow for the future. In fact, you can reimburse yourself at anytime in the future for eligible expenses you paid for using after-tax dollars as long as they were incurred while you had an open and funded HSA.
The government does allow a one-time transfer of funds from an IRA to an HSA. However, you can only roll your HSA funds into another HSA not an IRA.
– The transferred amount, when combined with other HSA contributions for the year, may not exceed your annual maximum contribution.
– Also, after making such a transfer, you must continue to participate in a qualifying high-deductible health plan for 13 consecutive months, beginning in the month of the IRA-to HSA transfer. If you do not, you will be subject to income taxes and a 20 percent penalty tax on the transferred amount, except in the case of death or disability.
– Such a transfer may be an option if you incur significant medical expenses and find yourself unable to afford to make the maximum HSA contribution.
No, only one person can be named the account owner. If both you and your spouse have qualified HDHP coverage, and want to both make pre-tax HSA contributions or take advantage of the catch controbution once you are 55 or older, then you would each need to open an HSA.
If both you and your spouse have family coverage under qualified high-deductible health plans, the maximum total tax-deductible HSA contribution both of you can make (including employer contributions) is the IRS limit for family coverage. This contribution can be divided between you and your spouse however you wish. If you and/or your spouse are eligible to make catch-up contributions, you may each contribute your eligible catch-up contribution to your individual HSA.
Yes, unsued will carryover into the next year. There is no limit or cap on how large the balance can grow in your HSA. However, the annual limit you can contribute to the HSA may not exceed the maximum contribution amount set by the IRS each year, plus the “catch up” contribution for those ages 55 to 65.
