Rules for qualified vs non-qualified uses

When it comes to HSA distributions, there are several factors to consider:

• Tax implications: Distributions used for qualified medical expenses are tax-free, while non-qualified distributions may be subject to taxes and penalties.
• Age restrictions: Once you reach the age of 65, you can use HSA distributions for any purpose, not just medical expenses.

It's important to keep track of your HSA distributions and ensure you are using the funds appropriately to avoid any tax implications.
