A Health Savings Account (HSA) enables you to save and conveniently pay for qualified medical expenses while you earn tax-free interest and pay no monthly service fees. The money in your HSA is yours even if you change jobs, switch your health plan, or retire. Your unused HSA balance rolls over from year to year. And, best of all, HSAs allow for tax-free deposits, tax-free earnings and tax-free withdrawals (for qualified medical expenses).
1 Also, after age 65, you can withdraw funds from your HSA penalty-free.

1 Contributions, investment earnings, and distributions are tax free for federal tax purposes if used to pay for qualified medical expenses, and may or may not be subject to state taxation. A list of Eligible Medical Expenses can be found in IRS Publication 502,
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf. As described in IRS publication 969,
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p969.pdf, certain over-the-counter medications (when prescribed by a doctor) are considered eligible medical expenses for HSA purposes. If an individual is 65 or older, there is no penalty to withdraw HSA funds. However, income taxes will apply if the distribution is not used for qualified medical expenses. For more information consult a tax adviser or your state department of revenue. All contributions and distributions are your responsibility and must be within IRS regulatory limits.
