Any reason to keep any more in HSA than the deductible+out of pocket max
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 23rd, 2018 7:52 PM Author: charcoal temple kitty cat After contributing for more than 4 years, I've finally saved enough in my HSA to cover a major medical expense that would require my entire high deductible+out of pocket max.
Any reason to keep the HSA contribution going other than the tax benefit? |

What the hell am I going to do with a massive health fund? |

But that's only if the government doesn't change the rules in the next 30 years. Fat chance |

Risk is minimal enough to permit assumption of reliability for planning. Fund it baby. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3868845&forum_id=2#35221231) |

So what you can do is this: Pay for medical expenses out-of-pocket. Then instead of reimbursing yourself from the HSA, keep the money in the HSA and keep the documentation indefinitely. When you have a need for some money, just whip out those old medical bills and the money comes out tax-free. |
