Can I Use HSA to Take Out Money After 65? | HSA Awareness

As you plan for your future healthcare needs, you might be wondering if you can use your HSA to take out money after the age of 65. The short answer is yes, you can use your HSA funds for any purpose once you reach the age of 65.

Here are some key points to consider:

• After turning 65, you can withdraw money from your HSA for any reason without penalty. However, if you use the funds for non-qualified medical expenses, you will owe income tax on the amount withdrawn.
• If you are enrolled in Medicare, you can still use your HSA funds to pay for qualified medical expenses not covered by Medicare.
• Using your HSA funds after 65 can be a tax-efficient way to cover healthcare costs in retirement.
• Keep in mind that while there is no longer a penalty for non-medical withdrawals after 65, you will still owe income tax on the amount withdrawn if not used for qualified medical expenses.

It's important to understand the rules and guidelines surrounding HSAs to make the most of your healthcare savings. Consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to ensure you are making informed decisions about using your HSA funds after the age of 65.
