HSA Benefits

Here are just a few of the many HSA benefits:

  • You can reduce your taxable income with triple tax benefits:
  • Automated payroll/folio contributions are made with pre-tax dollars
  • Interest earned is non-taxable
  • Qualified medical expenses are tax-free1
  • Another form of pre-tax retirement savings
  • Take the account with you no matter where you go, even once you retire
  • Balances roll over from year to year, so you don’t have to spend all the money you have put away during the year

Employers: By offering HSAs to your employees, you potentially have much to gain.

  • Contributions are considered employer-provided coverage for medical expenses
  • Increased ability to attract and retain employees
  • Lower overall health insurance costs

Consult your tax advisor or refer to IRS Publication 502. Contribution limitations and other restrictions apply to HSAs. To have a Federally Qualified HSA, you must purchase and maintain a HDHP with minimum deductibles of $1,300 (individual) and $2,600 (family), and maximum out of pocket expenses less than $6,850 (individual) and $13,700 (family). Generally you cannot be covered by another low-deductible health insurance policy. The tax treatment of HSA contributions and distributions under your state's income tax laws may differ from the referenced federal tax treatment, and from state to state. Consult with your financial or tax advisor for more information. This Credit Union is federally-insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
