Health Savings Accounts are IRA-like accounts designed to accumulate funds for coverage of out-of-pocket health costs. Qualifying contributions generate an "above-the-line" deduction on 1040s, with no phaseouts for high-income filers.
HSAs are often overlooked as a personal financial planning tool. The high deductible can lower health insurance costs for qualifying taxpayers. For higher-income individuals, the combination of an up-front deduction and tax-deferred accumulation of earnings on savings make them a powerful savings vehicle.
