Will my contributions affect any of my Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)?

No. HSA contributions are another way for you to save for your retirement via a tax-deferred path.

Coaches' Takeaway

No, your contributions will not affect your IRAs. Note that if an account owner uses the funds for non-medical purposes, ordinary income taxes must be paid on that amount, in addition to a 20% penalty. This amounts to an approximate 40–50% loss in value. However, if the money is withdrawn after the age of 65 for non-medical purposes, the account owner pays only the applicable tax without penalty.
