Health Spending Account (HSA) for Full Time Continuing Employees. Each January 1, the Employer will deposit an amount in accordance with Appendix “A” into a Health Spending Account (HSA) in the Employee’s name. The Employer will provide credits equal to 2% of pensionable earnings that may be directed to the Pension Plan or to the HSA in increments of 0.5%.Through the HSA, an Employee can pay for eligible health care expenses not fully covered by the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Benefits Plan. The benefit of using the HSA to pay for health care expenses is that, by doing so, Employees use before-tax contributions from the Employer, rather than their own after- tax income. The money the Employer deposits in an Employee’s HSA is not subject to federal or provincial taxes. The HSA also provides reimbursement for a broader range of health care services such as prescription sunglasses, laser eye surgery, orthodontia expenses above plan maximums, coinsurance amounts, and prescription drugs not covered under the plan. A list of all eligible HSA expenses are available from Human Resources. The CRA gives Employees a tax break on this account, but an Employee has two (2) calendar years from the January 1 deposit date, to use any credits deposited in their HSA or it is forfeited.

  • How Are Distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account Taxed For Federal Income Tax Purposes? Amounts distributed are generally excludable from gross income if they do not exceed the beneficiary’s “qualified higher education expenses” for the year or are rolled over to another Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account according to the requirements of Section (4). “Qualified higher education expenses” generally include the cost of tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment for enrollment at (i) accredited post-secondary educational institutions offering credit toward a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree, a graduate-level or professional degree or another recognized post-secondary credential and (ii) certain vocational schools. In addition, room and board may be covered if the beneficiary is at least a “half-time” student. This amount may be reduced or eliminated by certain scholarships, qualified state tuition programs, HOPE, Lifetime Learning tax credits, proceeds of certain savings bonds, and other amounts paid on the beneficiary’s behalf as well as by any other deductions or credits taken for the same expenses. The definition of “qualified education expenses” includes expenses more frequently and directly related to elementary and secondary school education, including the purchase of computer technology or equipment or Internet access and related services. To the extent payments during the year exceed such amounts, they are partially taxable and partially non-taxable similar to payments received from an annuity. Any taxable portion of a distribution is generally subject to a 10% penalty tax in addition to income tax unless the distribution is (i) due to the death or disability of the beneficiary, (ii) made on account of a scholarship received by the beneficiary, or (iii) is made in a year in which the beneficiary elects the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credit and waives the exclusion from income of the Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distribution. You may be allowed to take both the HOPE or Lifetime Learning credits while simultaneously taking distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts. However, you cannot claim a credit for the same educational expenses paid for through Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account distributions. To the extent a distribution is taxable, capital gains treatment does not apply to amounts distributed from the account. Similarly, the special five- and ten-year averaging rules for lump-sum distributions do not apply to distributions from a Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Account. The taxable portion of any distribution is taxed as ordinary income. The IRS does not require withholding on distributions from Xxxxxxxxx Education Savings Accounts.
