- Talk to a tax professional to confirm applicable benefits.
- Qualified medical expenses, as explained in IRS Pub. 502, include amounts paid for doctors’ fees, prescription medicines, and necessary hospital services not paid for by insurance. Qualified medical expenses may be incurred by you, your spouse, or your dependents.
- Contributions for the “prior” tax year are allowed through the tax filing date of the current year (usually April 15).
- Your spouse will not use the same account number. If you designated anyone other than your spouse as the beneficiary, then after your death the account will no longer be a HSA, and the beneficiary will be taxed based on the account’s fair market value in the year of your death. If your estate is the beneficiary, then the value of the account will be included on your final income tax return.
