HSA Accounts and You

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Policy Online

Ever wonder how an Hsa account can benefit you. Usually an Hsa Account can benefit you in more than 1 way. Here is a list of things you can take advantage of.

1) Lower Monthly Premiums. Premiums generally are about 30% lower than normal premiums

2) Reduce your federal income taxes.  Regardless of how your income was earned, any money you deposit into your Health Savings Account is considered an "above-the-line" deduction, giving you a 100% write-off against adjusted gross income.

3)Tax-deferred growth. Like funds in an IRA, the money in your account grows free from federal taxes.  You do have to pay taxes if the money is withdrawn for non-medical expenses, but there is no penalty if you are over 65 years old.

4)Pay for dental expenses with pre-tax dollars.  Dental expenses from checkups and cleanings, to braces, to toothpaste, can all be paid for with pre-tax dollars from your HSA account.  You may even purchase prepaid dental plans with funds from your HSA account.  


5) Pay for vision care with pre-tax dollars.  You can use HSA funds to pay for checkups, glasses, contact lenses, prescription sunglasses, cleaning fluids, and other expenses related to your eye care.]

6) Rate Guarantee. You can get a better rate guarantee up to 36 months with a higher deductible.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) enables anyone with a qualifying high-deductible health insurance plan to shelter up to $5,450 from federal income taxes.  By reducing your adjustable gross income, enabling you to pay for medical expenses with pre-tax income, and through tax-deferred growth, HSAs can reduce your income taxes.
