Question

Can an HSA pay for a non-dependent child?

I have a child that lives with me the majority of the time, but her mother gets to claim her as a dependent for tax purposes. Would I be able to use my HSA for her medical/dental bills? She is a minor child.

Level 15

yes you can from iRS PUB 969

qualified medical expenses

a child of parents that are divorced, separated, or living apart for the last 6 months of the calendar year is treated as the dependent of both parents whether or not the custodial parent releases the claim to the child’s exemption.

Are you the child's other parent?

Level 2

Yes, I am her father. I have her for the majority of the year. The divorce decree gives her mother the ability to claim her.
