HSA Max-Fund & Invest (Triple Tax-Free)

The only triple-tax-free account — deduct in, grow tax-free, withdraw tax-free for medical.

Overview

HSA contributions are federal + state + FICA deductible (via payroll), grow tax-free, and come out tax-free for qualified medical any time in life (including reimbursement of receipts kept for decades). Max $4,300 single / $8,550 family + $1,000 catch-up (2025). Instead of using the HSA for current medical, pay out of pocket, save receipts in Google Drive, and invest the HSA in index funds — compound tax-free for 30 yrs, then reimburse decades of receipts in one tax-free withdrawal.
