Benefits Of Having An HSA

  • Whether you contribute to an HSA account from your paycheck before taxes or from your take-home pay, you won’t pay income tax. This can also reduce your taxable income.
  • Download the form to start setting up direct deposit.
  • Any dividends your HSA earns is not taxed. With Royal’s great rates, this can add up to substantial savings.
  • When you use HSA account dollars for a qualified medical expense, your withdrawal is tax free.
  • HSA funds roll over from year to year. If you don’t use the funds, they’ll remain in the account, unlike a Flexible Spending Account with a “use it or lose it” rule.
  • HSA money is portable. Even if you leave your job or move, you can take your HSA with you.
  • HSAs may provide a tax-advantaged way to save for medical expenses in retirement.

Who Can Have An HSA?

  • To have a Health Savings Account, you must be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan, also known as an HDHP. The IRS sets limits on the minimum deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums a health plan may have to qualify as an HDHP.
  • You also may not have other health coverage, be enrolled in Medicare, or be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return this year.
