Tracking Your HSA

Just as Healthcare has seen unprecedented changes in the past year, so have the types of benefits offered to employees. HSAs (or Health Savings Accounts) have become a more popular option for many members, with the tax free dollars offering more bang for your buck as you pay for your medical care. This departure from traditional insurance plans has created a more complex responsibility for the individual, though. Keeping track of where the dollars from your HSA are spent and what they are spent on is crucial for tax purposes as well as reconciling your account.

In order to help make this process easier, we have created a downloadable HSA tracker to input your expenses as you go. As you enter your contributions and transactions from your account, the balance automatically updates. Other tabs include spaces for you to input your important HSA information, a list of qualified and non-qualified expenses, and a sample of how to use the HSA tracker.
