Ask an AI Accountant

Can a tax payer be on Medicare and still contribute to a HSA?

AI accountant’s answer:

No, once a taxpayer enrolls in Medicare, they're no longer eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA). This is because one of the requirements for contributing to an HSA is that you're covered under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and have no other health coverage. Medicare isn't considered an HDHP, so once you're enrolled, you can't make new contributions to an HSA. However, you can still use the funds already in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses.

Correct.
