- 3Should I lower my retirement contributions to save for a house?Lowering retirement or HSA contributions frees up extra cash to build a down payment fund for a home. This trade-off requires balancing the long-term value of having money in retirement against the immediate financial goal of owning property.
- 2Should I switch to a high deductible plan if I need medical procedures?Switching to a high-deductible health plan while facing imminent medical tests or specialist visits means paying out-of-pocket for expensive care before meeting your deductible. This makes it difficult to weigh the tax advantages of an HSA against the immediate, high costs of upcoming diagnostics.
- 2What are the tax rules for inheriting an HSA as a non-spouse beneficiary?For beneficiaries other than a spouse, an inherited HSA ceases to be a tax-advantaged account and the entire balance becomes immediately taxable as income as of the date of death. This makes planning around HSA inheritance completely different from standard retirement accounts like an IRA.
