An HSA account is one of the most tax-efficient savings accounts available to investors. While many of the distribution rules are straightforward, there are several factors and exceptions that should be considered before a client takes a distribution from their HSA, including:

Classification as a Qualified Medical Expense
Eligibility of LTC insurance premium payments
Eligibility of health insurance premium payments
Impact if the distribution occurs before/after turning age 65
Use of HSA funds to pay Qualified Medical Expenses of family members
Timing of expenses

“I think fpPathfinder is the best tool I’ve ever seen in the financial planning realm. I spend an unbelievable amount of time researching some of these issues that have been boiled down to one page: consulting with other experts, citing specific sources as a backup, reviewing my work, and coming to a final conclusion.”

— Jeff S, an advisor in Missouri

“Thank you for creating a robust, yet very practical, planning tool.”

— Andy, an advisor in Florida

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”

— An advisor in Texas

“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the Flow Charts you are providing. Helps me feel a little less crazy as an advisor.”

— Tami C, an advisor in Colorado

“I just met with a client who had a question regarding her eligibility for Social Security benefits. We went through the flowcharts answering each question and following the lines. She looked at me and said 'This is great, it was so much easier to use this than trying to go through all the literature that Social Security offers. Thank you so much.'”

— Ben G, an advisor in Wisconsin
