Hsa Power Point
1.
2. Health Savings Account Plans By now, almost everyone knows that an HSA plan allows you to use TAX-FREE money to pay most medical expenses But did you also know . . .
3. An HSA also allows you to: By-pass the 7.5% AGI Limitation and deduct (almost) all of your medical expenses …. BEFORE they are incurred!

6. Similar to an IRA Sounds like an IRA? YES!! (“it’s a medical IRA”)

13. AGI “By-Pass” Compare an HSA to the “other way” you can get a deduction for medical expenses—you have to spend money. Schedule A—Itemized Deduction for medical expenses. Limited to 7.5% of AGI. Key term: Expenses. Ordinarily, you have to spend money, i.e., incur expenses in order to get a tax deduction. Which would you rather have: A deduction for expenses incurred or for money contributed to a savings account?
14. Example: Bill & Susan, both age 44, with 2 kids Bill is self-employed contractor AGI: $77,000 Medical “expenses” for the year: $1,600 (by law, does not include insurance premiums paid!) Amount of deduction: ZERO Why?: 7.5% threshold is not reached until $5,775 in expenses are incurred
15. Example (cont.): Compare the HSA. Contribution to HSA: $5,800 Amount of Deduction: $5,800 Estimated Tax Savings: $1,624 (28%) Bill & Susan can actually use “tax dollars” to pay all of their medical expenses and still have $4,200 saved and hard at work earning tax-deferred interest (or investments). Duh! (5,800 contribution – 1,600 medical expenses = 4,200 balance) **Actual insurance premiums are also 100% deductible for the self-employed under either option.

Imagine that 30% of the calls you receive on your cell phone are from telemarketers – you would consider the value of the cellular system to be far less than you do today -- you’d find it as much of a source of annoyance as you would a useful tool. And as you had to pay for each call you received it would reduce the cost effectiveness considerably. E-mail is, after the wired telephone, the most valuable communications resource business has and spam does to e-mail what unrestrained telemarketing would do to the cell phone system – it decreases value and increases costs.
