Help your employees save for medical expenses
Many business owners offer high deductible insurance plans to their employees. The employees then have the option of opening a Health Savings Account to help save for future medical expenses.
A Health Savings Account is an account designed specifically to help save for medical expenses. Contributions to this account can be made by the employee, the employer or both. The total contributions you make are limited annually. If you make a contribution, you may deduct the contributions (even if you do not itemize deductions) when completing your federal income tax return.*
Any qualified employee can contribute to a HSA if they:
- Have coverage under an HSA qualified high deductible health plan.
- Have no other first dollar medical coverage (other types of insurance like specific injury insurance or accident, disability, dental care, vision care, or long term care insurance are permitted).
- Are not enrolled in Medicare.
- Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
