HSA as a retirement account

Up to $4,400 / $8,750 (2026)

Can You Write Off HSA As a Retirement Account?

Short answer: Yes: after 65, HSA money can be withdrawn for anything and is taxed like an IRA, or tax-free for medical costs.

Contributions are deductible even if you don't itemize.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
