Can I Use My HSA Funds for My Spouse? - Everything You Need to Know About HSA Rules

Many people wonder if they can use their HSA funds for their spouse's medical expenses. The short answer is yes, you can use your HSA funds to pay for qualified medical expenses of your spouse, as well as your dependents.

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• You can use your HSA funds to cover eligible medical expenses for your spouse, even if they are not covered by your health insurance plan.
• Your spouse doesn't have to have their own HSA for you to use your funds on their medical expenses.
• When using your HSA for your spouse, make sure the medical expenses are considered qualified under IRS guidelines.
• It's essential to keep accurate records of expenses and receipts when using your HSA funds, especially for your spouse's medical bills.
• Remember that if you're 65 or older, you can use your HSA funds for your spouse's medical expenses, but they won't be tax-free like they are for your own qualified medical expenses.

Overall, using your HSA funds for your spouse's medical needs is allowed and can provide financial support during times of healthcare expenses.
