Can an HSA be rolled over into a Roth IRA?

What happens to HSA at end of year?

HSA money is yours to keep. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), unused money in your HSA isn’t forfeited at the end of the year; it continues to grow, tax-deferred. HSAs are portable and move with you if you change employment. Your HSA belongs to you, not your employer, just like your personal checking account.

Can I convert a HSA account to an IRA?

No, there’s no way to convert an HSA to an IRA. And there’s really no advantage to doing it, anyways. Both IRAs and HSAs allow you to deposit money into them before taxes. Your total yearly contributions to either type of account are deducted from your income before the taxable amount is computed. In addition, both accounts grow without taxes.

Can I roll HSA contributions into a Roth IRA?

Can you have more than one HSA?

Does HSA rollover year to year?

An HSA can only receive one rollover contribution during a 1 year period. The IRS puts a limit on the number of HSA rollovers that can occur during a year, which is not necessarily a calendar year. But they note that this restriction is on the receiving HSA account, not the originating account.
