What’s up with Health Savings Accounts?
I’ve read the wikipedia, IRS site, etc and still have questions. An answer to even just part would be greatly appreciated:
1. I’ve read the yearly limit is around $2900, is that CONTRIBUTION limit or a BALANCE limit?
2. What is my (essentially) lifetime limit? In other words, if during year 1 I spend $0, then by the end of year 2, I could theoretically (if nothing changes) have a balance of $5,800, correct?
3. If I have some kind of emergency and need to tap into that money, HOW do I pay the tax/penalty on it?
3b. How much of a penalty are we talking about?
4. Considering my HDHP has a $3000 yearly out of pocket maximum. Can the Health Insurance carrier ‘see’ my other costs (that it will not pay anything for), such as lasik, and can that be subtracted for my out of pocket maximum purposes?
4b. So this must mean that my insurance company somehow can see my HSA balance and transactions? That doesn’t seem to make sense.
5. How closely does the IRS watch?
1. Contribution limit. The balance is unlimited.
2. No limit (until the rules change, that is).
3. There is a line item on tax forms for these types of withdrawals. Same as with withdrawals from retirement accounts (401(k), IRA).
3b. Regular income tax +10% penalty.
4. They will only see what goes through them, and for this reason, you’re supposed to channel some stuff through them even if they’re not going to pay it. Everything that they would count into the out-of-pocket expenses should go through them (but not everything that goes through them is counted — see your plan literature).
4b. Nope, the insurance company doesn’t have access to that, and doesn’t even know if or where you have the HSA account.
5. HSA is a relatively new thing, I’m not sure anyone knows.
A couple of additional points that you may not be aware of:
a) After age 65, you can withdraw money from HSA for non-medical purposes and pay no penalty (income tax will still need to be paid — similar to an IRA).
b) If you become ineligible for HSA (e.g. you go to an insurance plan with regular, not high, deductible), you’ll lose the ability to contribute to the HSA, but you can still take money from it for medical expenses tax-free and pentalty-free, until you spend it all.
IWC’s Big Pilot Watch Flies High
International Watch Company (IWC) began its story in 1868 with the creation of their luxury pocket watches. When IWC introduced the wristwatch at the end of the 19th century, they initially used their existing pocket watch movements in the new wristwatches. Soon, their craftsmen developed extremely precise movements to be used in their new product lines. Early pilots began to use these watches because they were over-sized and easy to read. Modern pilots and aviation officials still use IWC watches today, and they are known for their classic style.
The Big Pilot’s Watch has been IWC’s flagship since 2002, with one of the largest automatic movements in the world. The impressive steel case of the IWC Big Pilot model # 500401 is 46.2 mm in diameter and 15.8 mm high. The black dial is well-balanced in the massive case under the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The classic black Crocodile leather strap with a steel deployment buckle completes the package.
The IWC Big Pilot 500401 uses a classic fixed stainless steel bezel. The black dial clearly shows off the Arabic numeral hour markers and luminous hands. The minute markers are located around the outer rim. The automatic movement features a 7 day power reserve sub-dial that is located at the 3 o’clock position. The date can be found at the 6 o’clock. This classic men’s luxury watch is water resistant to 60 meters. Whether you are in the aviation business or not, this over-sized Big Pilot watch by IWC is an excellent choice for a men’s luxury watch.
The “Big Pilot”, “Portuguese” and “Aquatimer” are all incredible lines for IWC. The newest release is a new “Da Vinci” Chronograph and Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in a Tonneau shaped case that will be very hot. All models of IWC are relatively limited production with demand often exceeding supply. True limited editions sell out rapidly at or near suggested retails
