Can I Roll Forward My HSA Account? All You Need to Know About HSA Rollover

One common question people have about Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) is whether they can roll forward their HSA accounts. The answer is yes, you can roll over your HSA account from year to year, unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) that have a 'use it or lose it' policy.

Here are some key points to know about rolling over your HSA account:

• HSAs are portable and belong to you, meaning you can take your HSA funds with you even if you change jobs or health insurance plans.
• There are no time limits for using the funds in your HSA, allowing you to grow your savings over time.
• You can roll over any unused funds in your HSA from one year to the next without penalty or tax consequences.

It's important to note that you must have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to be eligible to contribute to an HSA and roll over funds. If you no longer have an HDHP, you can no longer contribute to the HSA, but you can still use the funds for qualified medical expenses tax-free.

Yes, you can absolutely roll forward your Health Savings Account (HSA) from year to year! This is one of the major advantages of HSAs, as they allow for long-term savings without being bound by a 'use it or lose it' rule like Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).
