Can I use HSA for my child who is dependent of my ex and is not covered by my insurance?
My daughter lives with my ex in another state. We have divorced for 4 years and on the divorce decree mom had full custody but in past few years I actually had around 30% of of my daughter's time each year.
I don't claim my daughter as dependent and her medical care premium is also covered by the mom (she turns to me for half of that each year).
I am filing single and my medical insurance ONLY covers myself.
My questions are:
1. Can I use my HSA account to reimburse expenses (co-pays etc.) for my daughter in this case (not covering her medical care and she is not my dependent).
2. When turbotax asks 'type of HDHP coverage' in past year, should I choose 'self-only' or 'family plan' (the limit would be different).
3. In case I am not eligible to use HSA reimbursement for my daughter but have already done so. What should I do to correct that?
