Editor's Notes
#10: An HAS is a type of savings account that lets you set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical expenses.
By using untaxed dollars in an HSA to pay for deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, and some other expenses, you may be able to lower your overall health care costs. HSA funds generally may not be used to pay premiums.
While you can use the funds in an HSA at any time to pay for qualified medical expenses, you may contribute to an HSA only if you have a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) generally a health plan (including a Marketplace plan) that only covers preventive services before the deductible. For plan year 2020, the minimum deductible for an HDHP is $1,400 for an individual and $2,800 for a family. When you view plans in the Marketplace, you can see if they are "HSA-eligible.
For 2020, if you have an HDHP, you can contribute up to $3,550 for self-only coverage and up to $7,100 for family coverage into an HSA. HSA funds roll over year to year if you don't spend them. An HSA may earn interest or other earnings, which are not taxable.
#11: This benefit applies not only to qualified higher education expenses, but also to qualified elementary and secondary education expenses. Contributions are not tax deductible. Total contributions on behalf of a beneficiary in any year can't exceed $2,000.
#12: The important takeaway is if you find you have inherited an IRA, do not do anything with it until you consult with a licensed professional like Quest.
HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME GREAT STRATEGIES YOU CAN USE WITH AN INERHITED ROTH IRA. LOOK FOR AN UPCOMING SPECIFIC VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC AND HOW YOU CAN EXCELERATE YOUR RETIRTEMENT GROWTH TAX FREE.
