An HSA is an account that you can invest dollars in to save for future medical expenses in conjunction with a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). This account is tax-exempt and was established for the purpose of paying medical expenses. Contact your employer or insurance agent to see if you qualify for a HSA and inform your tax preparer of your participation.
