1 Understanding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
2 HSA Education
3 What is an HSA? A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for qualified medical expenses not covered by the HDHP, including deductibles, co-pays, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Paired with a qualified HSA-compatible health plan to help eligible individuals pay for qualified medical expenses. Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There s no use or lose it penalty. Potential to build more savings through investing. You can choose from a variety of HSA self-directed investment options. Additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.
4 Advantages of an HSA Funds roll over from year to year No use it or lose it philosophy. Tax benefits on contributions, earnings and distributions Contributions are either pre-tax (via paycheck) or tax-deductible. Portability Funds follow you if you leave your employer or change health insurance. Tax-free withdrawals for Qualified Medical Expenses even if qualifying coverage ends. Long-term investment opportunities Not FDIC insured Control over healthcare dollars
5 Tax Treatment of HSAs Contributions Payroll contributions are deducted from your federal taxable income. In the state of CA, AL and NJ are subject to state taxes. Post tax contributions are tax deductible when you file your taxes. All contributions (employer and employee pre-tax) are report on your W-2 in box 12 with the code W. Earnings HSAs grow in the same tax-deferred manner as IRAs. Distributions Withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. Before age 65, funds withdrawn for non qualified medical expenses are penalized at 20% and considered taxable income. After age 65, funds may be withdrawn for any reason without penalty but considered taxable income.
6 Who is eligible for an HSA? Individuals who are covered by an HSA-compatible health plan are eligible if they are NOT: Covered by any other non HSA-compatible health plan Traditional health plans, FSA, HRA, Tricare and/or VA benefits Claimed as a dependent on another person s tax return Excluding spouses per Internal Revenue Code Enrolled in Medicare
7 Basic HSA Concept
8 Non HSA-Compatible Health Plans Medicare: Mere eligibility for Medicare does not make you ineligible to contribution to an HSA. Rather, the term entitled to benefits under Medicare means both eligibility and enrollment in Medicare. An individual who is enrolled in any part of Medicare is not an eligible individual. General Purpose FSA or HRA: HSAs and general purpose FSAs and HRAs are not allowed in the same household. However, the following arrangements do work with an HSA. Limited-purpose FSA or HRA Suspended HRA Post-deductible FSA or HRA Retirement HRA FSA Grace Period: Coverage during a grace period by a general purpose FSA is allowed if the balance in the FSA at the end of it s prior year plan is zero. Otherwise eligibility for the HSA will begin the first day following the end of the grace period. Example: John s FSA grace period ends on 11/15 in which he carries over a balance from the previous plan year. John is not eligible for the HSA until 12/1.
9 Non HSA-Compatible Health Plans VA Benefits: An individual who is eligible to receive VA medical benefits but who has not actually received such benefits during the preceding three months is eligible for the HSA. An individual is not eligible for the HSA if they have received medical benefits from the VA at any time during the previous three months. TRICARE: Coverage options under TRICARE do not meet the minimum annual deductible requirements for an HDHP. Thus, an individual covered under TRICARE is not an eligible individual and may not contribution to an HSA. Eligibility of your spouse and dependents will not affect the your eligibility for the HSA.
10 HSA Open Date First of the month eligibility HSAs are opened based upon the effective date of the HSA-compatible health plan. Example: John s HSA-compatible health plan is effective 1/1. John s HSA will be open on 1/1. Mid-month eligibility If you have an HSA-compatible health plan effective date is any date other than the 1 st of the month, the IRS stipulates that the HSA would open on the 1 st day of the following month. (IRS notice Q&A 11) Example: Alex s HSA-compatible health plan is effective 6/15. Alex s HSA would be open on 7/1.
11 HSA Contribution Limits HDHP 2014 Single Family Minimum Deductible $1,250 $2,500 Maximum Out-of-Pocket $6,350 $12,700 HSA Maximum Contribution Single Family 2014 $3,300 $6,550 Catch-up Contribution (Age 55+) $1,000 Intended to cover serious illness or injury Can pay for eligible medical expenses not covered the health plan
12 Catch Up Contributions Catch up contributions Individuals age 55+ are eligible for an additional $1,000 catch up contribution. Spouses age 55+ can make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution annually if they meet all HSA eligibility requirements. Spouses must open their own HSA to make the catch up contribution. Contributions need not be prorated based on when in the year a person turns 55.
13 HSA Contribution Sources Employer Single Family Employee Payroll deduction Personal check Online transfers Transfer/ Rollover HSA MSA IRA (once per lifetime) Contributions from all sources, except HSA and MSA transfers, count toward the annual maximum.
14 HSA Contribution Prorating Provisions Last Month Rule If HSA-compatible coverage is effective after January 1st in a given year, you can contribute the annual IRS maximum as long as the HSA-compatible plan is effective before December 1 st and fulfills the testing period. (IRS Publication 969) If you do not maintain eligibility during testing period, excess contributions are subject to a 6% penalty and considered taxable income. Testing Period Qualifying coverage must continue through December 31st of the following year from when HSA-compatible plan was effective. Example Shelly s HSA-compatible plan is effective 12/1/13. She can fund the annual IRS maximum as long as she remains HSA eligible through 12/31/14.
15 Eligible Medical Expenses Health Savings Account (HSA) funds can be used to pay for a wide range of eligible medical expenses. HSA funds that are used to pay for eligible medical expenses are always tax-free and can be used even if you re not covered by an HSA-compatible plan. Doctor and hospital visits Medical equipment Dental care, braces, dentures Vision care, glasses, contacts Prescription medications Premiums for long-term care insurance Premiums for COBRA Premiums for coverage while receiving unemployment compensation Premiums for individuals over age 65 *A list of Qualified Medical Expenses can be found in IRS Publication 502, As described in IRS publication 969, over-the- counter medications are considered Qualified Medical Expenses for HSA purposes.
16 HSA Distributions Account establishment date You can expense eligible medical expenses incurred after HSA is established. IRS recognizes an HSA as established upon the account opening and initial funding. (IRS Notice Q&A39 and IRS Notice Q&A 38) HSA Bank funds every new account with $0.01 to establish the HSA on the day it is opened. (Note: The transaction description will read HSA Bank deposit to establish account ) Eligible medical expense auditing Unlike FSAs, HSA custodians are not required to determine whether HSA distributions are used exclusively for eligible medical expenses. You determine if expenses are qualified and should maintain records of expenses. You are responsible for reporting non qualified HSA distributions when filing taxes.
