Health Savings Account
Enhance the benefits package offered through Paychex Business Solutions by starting a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is a pretax savings tool designed to be combined with a qualified high-deductible health insurance plan (QHDHP). With a QHDHP, an HSA can give you and your employees greater control over healthcare spending by allowing you to reserve tax-free funds for current and future medical expenses.
Enrollment in a QHDHP is required in order to make deposits into an HSA. For a high-deductible health insurance policy to qualify, the deductible and annual out-of-pocket expenses must meet specific IRS guidelines.
In conjunction with a Premium Only Plan (POP), an HSA offers exceptional tax savings for participants.
- Pretax fund contributions.
- Tax-free interest on HSA funds.
- Tax-free payment of qualified medical expenses.
With tax-free employer contributions, you can also help your employees on the way to saving.
Each year, participants may contribute an amount up to the annual IRS limit with some conditions. Any unused balances can be rolled over from year to year, and can grow through additional contributions and potential earnings.
