Short answer: Yes, HSA funds carry over to the next year, unlike FSAs with a use-it-or-lose-it rule.

HSA funds carry over annually

Yes, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) do carry over to the next year. HSAs are designed to allow individuals to save for qualified medical expenses on a tax-free basis. One of the key benefits of an HSA is that the funds in the account roll over each year, unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) which have a 'use it or lose it' rule. This means that any unused funds in your HSA at the end of the year automatically carry over to the next year, allowing you to continue saving for future healthcare expenses.

Absolutely! Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are unique in that they allow for the funds you save to carry over year after year. This feature is incredibly advantageous for individuals who want to plan for unexpected medical expenses or gradually build a healthcare savings fund without the pressure of a 'use it or lose it' stipulation, which is typical of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).
