HSA eligibility for non-U.S. citizens

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are an excellent way to save for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. They are available to individuals who are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). But what about non-U.S. citizens?

The good news is that you do not have to be an American citizen to have an HSA. Non-U.S. citizens can still open and contribute to an HSA as long as they meet certain eligibility requirements:

• Must be considered a resident alien for tax purposes
• Have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

So, whether you are a permanent resident, a DACA recipient, or on a visa, you can still take advantage of the benefits of an HSA. It's important to note that contributions to an HSA may be subject to specific rules and limitations based on individual circumstances.

Tax advantages and uses of HSA funds

By having an HSA, you can:

• Save pre-tax dollars for medical expenses
• Enjoy tax-free growth on your contributions
• Use the funds for qualified medical expenses at any time
