American IRA Publishes Overview to Self-Directed HSAs (Health Savings Accounts)
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) August 18, 2018 -- Health savings accounts can represent a strong way for investors to not only provide for health coverage, but to grow wealth over a long period of time. However, because these accounts can sometimes be tricky for some investors to wrap their heads around, many avoid them completely. Others focus on health insurance through a work-provided carrier. But recently, American IRA published a guide to Self-Directed HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) at the American IRA blog.
The guide, which included issues such as eligibility, Self-Directed HSA contributions, taxes, and taking distributions, provides readers with the ins and outs of maintaining HSA accounts while explaining what can be done to maximize their value over time.
“The Self-Directed HSA (Health Savings Account) is a fantastic way for people to hold on to their wealth,” said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. “They not only offer investors a lot of freedom, but a lot of control as well. That means that anyone who wants to take care of their own health care costs has a lot of resources available to them. The problem is when people do not know about these resources—or even if they can Self-Direct. That is why we published this guide.”
The article, available at http://www.AmericanIRA.com, also pointed out that “professional help is a must,” because Self-Directed HSAs can be complicated, and handling them the wrong way can mean potential penalties and even the ineligibility to deduct contributions—which can result in less savings over time, wiping out the advantages of the Self-Directed Health Savings Accounts.
“It is great to have a Self-Directed HSA,” notes Jim Hitt, “but what people need to know is that these can be tricky. You can be an intelligent, savvy investor and your eyes still might glaze over as you read through all the rules and regulations. That is why we thought it was so important to provide this guide as an introduction as to what’s necessary with HSAs.”
