Tap what you spend on to see what an HSA or FSA usually covers, with IRS sources. Or paste a bill, denial or notice to see its dates, deadlines and warning signs. Nothing you tap or paste is sent.
The IRS sets a yearly limit. It is higher for family coverage, and you can add more from age 55. The 2026 figures are in IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-19. What you save depends on your tax bracket.
In March 2024 the IRS warned specifically (IR-2024-65 and its FAQ) that a note based on self-reported information does not turn food, wellness or exercise spending into medical care. Real documentation needs a visit with the provider who diagnoses and treats you, in person or by telehealth. We build to that rule.
The solid ground is long-term care. The law already counts it as medical care when two things are true: the person is chronically ill, and the care follows a plan of care prescribed by a licensed practitioner. Nothing is converted. The certification is what the law asks for.
The test we apply. Unable to perform at least two activities of daily living for 90 days or more without substantial assistance, or requiring substantial supervision due to severe cognitive impairment. Certified within the last twelve months, renewed annually.
What we decline. General fitness and wellness. Food and supplements for general health. Any request that arrives as “write me a letter so I can pay for this.” A review that never says no is not a review. So we say up front that we decline.
Check this first: HSA funds cover you, your spouse and your tax dependents. Paying for a parent usually means they must qualify as your dependent: check a parent or relative against the rule, on your device.
Care at home for someone chronically ill? Seven questions, on your device, sort that care against the rule above. It never says an expense is covered, and neither does this page.
General information, not tax or legal advice. Eligibility depends on IRS rules, your plan terms and your circumstances.
Leave your details to hear when it opens, or to ask which of last year's health costs may already qualify.
