Short answer: You can rollover an HSA by opening a new HSA, contacting your current provider, completing paperwork, choosing direct or indirect rollover, and monitoring the transfer; direct avoids tax obligations, and indirect avoids taxes if you deposit within 60 days.

How to roll over your HSA

Rolling over an HSA account is a straightforward process that allows you to transfer funds from one HSA to another without incurring any tax implications. Here are the steps to rollover an HSA account:

1. Open a new HSA account with a provider of your choice

2. Contact your current HSA provider to initiate the rollover process

3. Complete the necessary paperwork provided by both your current and new HSA providers

4. Decide whether you want a direct or indirect rollover:

  • A direct rollover involves transferring funds directly from one HSA to another, avoiding any tax obligations
  • An indirect rollover requires you to withdraw funds from your current HSA and deposit them into your new HSA within 60 days to avoid taxes

5. Monitor the transfer process to ensure a smooth transition of funds

By following these steps, you can successfully rollover your HSA account without any tax repercussions.

Rolling over your HSA account doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal - it’s quite simple, actually. The first step is to open a new HSA account with a provider that suits your financial goals and healthcare needs.
