Health Savings Account (HSA)

Lay the groundwork for smarter healthcare spending by taking advantage of triple tax savings. A Health Savings Account (HSA) pairs with our high deductible health plan (HDHP) and provides a way for you to use pre-tax dollars on eligible medical, dental, vision, and prescription expenses. For a complete list of qualified expenses, visit IRS Publication 502.

HSA Major Benefits

  • M/I Homes contributes to your account
  • Employee contributions will lower your taxable income
  • All employee and employer contributions will belong to you even if you change plans, change jobs, or retire
  • Balance rolls over from year to year
  • Helps build a healthcare nest egg for emergencies or retirement

Do You Qualify for an HSA?

You’re most likely eligible to open an HSA if you:

  • Have no other health coverage, such as military or VA benefits
  • Are not enrolled in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • Are not enrolled in Medicare
  • Are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return

Triple Tax Advantage

  • Reduces federal income taxes: Reduce your federal income tax by the amount you deposit in your HSA when you contribute directly from your paycheck.

  • Tax-free interest: Your money earns interest while it is in the account, and you do not pay taxes on the interest earned. Any gains on dollars invested in mutual funds are also tax-free.

  • Tax-free withdrawals: You never pay taxes on HSA withdrawals when used to pay for qualified expenses, including medical, dental, vision, and prescription expenses.

M/I Homes Contributes to Your HSA

M/I Homes contributes to your HSA. Employer contributions are made into your HSA per pay period. Employer contributions count towards the IRS annual maximums illustrated below. If you are enrolled in the HSA Medical plan, you must open your HSA through Fidelity to receive payroll contributions and company funding. Look out for an email from Fidelity with a link to open your account.
