Coverdell Education Savings Account
Plan Ahead for Your Child's Education
A Coverdell education savings account (ESA) allows you to make nondeductible contributions on behalf of a child each year until they are 18 years old. The earnings generated on the ESA contributions remain tax-deferred in the account. When a child uses the funds to pay for qualified education expenses, the contributions and the earnings are distributed tax-free.

Who Can Contribute?
Anyone can contribute to a child's ESA as long as their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) falls below or within the income limits for the year (see below). Those who are eligible can contribute to more than one ESA on behalf of multiple children, not to exceed the yearly limit of $2,000 per child. Also, no individual child can receive more than $2,000 total per year in ESA contributions.
Modified Adjusted Gross Income Limits
Single Filer: $95,000 - $110,000
Married, Joint Filer: $190,000 - $220,000
Distributions
If a child does not use the ESA funds or does not transfer or roll over the ESA funds to an eligible family member (see below) by the time they are 30 years old, the ESA will be distributed. The child must include the distributed amount in gross income for the year and pay a penalty tax on the earnings if the distribution is not used to pay for qualified education expenses.
Eligible Family Members
Eligible family members must be under the age of 30 and include the child's, father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, or in-law, spouse, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or in-law, child or descendent of child, stepchild, eligible foster child, or in-law, first cousin, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, or the spouse of the childs' niece or nephew.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Balancing Rising Health Care Costs
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are available at ICCU to members who have an HSA-eligible high deductible health plan (HDHP). An HDHP generally requires you to pay out of pocket for medical expenses incurred until your deductible is met. Plan coverage kicks in after that.
An HDHP may be HSA-eligible if it satisfies the IRS' annual deductible and out-of-pocket expense limits. But the rules that define an HSA-eligible HDHP can be complicated, so check with your insurance provider or employer to see if your health plan is HSA-eligible. HSA eligibility is determined as of the first day of each month.
In addition to having HSA-eligible HDHP coverage, you:
cannot be covered by another health plan (with limited exceptions)
cannot be enrolled in Medicare
cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return

| Account Type | APY** |

| Health Savings Account (HSA) | 0.30% |

Contributions
As long as you don't go over the limits that apply to your type of insurance coverage, you can contribute as much as you want, as often as you want throughout the year until your tax return due date (generally April 15th of the following year). In fact, anyone can contribute for you, even your employer.
Tax-Deductible
As you contribute to your HSA, don't forget about that tax deduction. As long as you cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, you can deduct your HSA contributions (except those made by your employer).
Tax-Free Deductions
When it is time to take money out of your HSA, simply use the money for qualified medical expenses. This typically includes most medical, dental, and vision care expenses by you, your spouse, or any covered dependents. HSA distributions not used for qualified medical expenses are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken before age 65, a 20 percent IRS penalty tax (unless the distribution is because of death or disability). Be sure to consult with a tax advisor regarding your HSA deductions and how to claim tax-free HSA distributions.
