When your husband qualifies as a dependent

Yes, you can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) to pay for your husband's medical bills as long as he is considered a qualified dependent by the IRS. This means that your husband must meet certain criteria such as not filing a joint tax return and receiving over half of his financial support from you.

It's important to keep in mind that the IRS has specific guidelines on who qualifies as a dependent, so be sure to check with a tax professional or refer to IRS publications for clarity.

HDHP coverage and allowance for expenses

Furthermore, if your husband is covered by your high deductible health plan (HDHP), then his medical expenses can be paid for using funds from your HSA.

Absolutely! Using your HSA (Health Savings Account) to cover your husband's medical expenses is allowed, provided that he qualifies as a dependent under IRS rules. This includes factors like whether he receives more than half of his financial support from you and does not file a joint tax return.
