Can I Use My HSA for Other People?

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way to save for medical expenses tax-free. But can you extend the benefits of your HSA to help other people? The short answer is yes, but there are specific guidelines and restrictions to keep in mind.

Here are a few key points to consider:

• You can use your HSA funds to pay for qualified medical expenses for your spouse or dependents.
• You can also use your HSA to cover the medical expenses of someone who is not your dependent, as long as you can claim that person as a dependent on your tax return.
• Using your HSA for non-dependents can provide tax advantages for you, but it's important to keep accurate records and follow IRS guidelines.

While you can use your HSA for others, it's crucial to ensure that the expenses are qualified medical expenses according to the IRS guidelines.

By leveraging your HSA to help others with their medical expenses, you can maximize the benefits of this powerful savings tool.
