HSA receipt log

Paid a medical bill with your own money while your HSA stays invested? Log it here. The running total shows how much you could pay yourself back from the HSA later. Nothing is uploaded: entries live in this browser, and you can export them to a CSV file anytime.

Educational only, not financial advice

This log helps you keep your own records. It isn’t tax or legal advice and doesn’t decide whether an expense qualifies. Entries are saved only in this browser’s local storage, never sent to us, and are lost if you clear your browser data, so export a CSV backup. Ask a qualified professional about your situation.

Available to reimburse (0 expenses)

$0.00

Already reimbursed

$0.00

Paid straight from the HSA

$0.00

Entries dated earlier are left out of the total. Your HSA provider can tell you this date; state law decides it.

When you got the care, not when you paid.

What you paid yourself, after insurance.

Paid from

Paid with your own money: you can reimburse yourself later.

For example “Drive › HSA › 2026” or “blue folder”. This log can’t store files.

No entries yet. Add an expense above or import a CSV you exported earlier. Everything stays in this browser.

The IRS rules behind the total

  • The expense must come after the HSA was established. Expenses incurred before you establish your HSA aren’t qualified medical expenses for HSA purposes. State law decides when an HSA is established. (Pub. 969)
  • There’s no deadline to reimburse yourself. You can take an HSA distribution this year for an expense from any earlier year, as long as it was incurred after the HSA was established. The IRS says “there is no time limit on when the distribution must occur.” (Notice 2004-50, Q&A-39)
  • Keep records that prove it. To keep the distribution tax-free, you must be able to show it paid or reimbursed qualified medical expenses, that the expenses weren’t already paid or reimbursed from another source (such as insurance), and that you didn’t take them as an itemized deduction. Don’t send these records with your return; keep them with your tax records. (Pub. 969)
  • What counts as medical care. Qualified medical expenses generally follow the medical and dental expense rules in Publication 502. Insurance premiums mostly don’t count, with exceptions such as COBRA and some Medicare premiums at 65 or older (Pub. 969).
  • Taking money for anything else is taxable and may cost an additional 20% tax (Pub. 969).

Keep the actual receipts.

This log is a list, not your proof. It doesn’t store files, and clearing your browser data erases it. Save each itemized receipt or explanation of benefits somewhere safe (paper or your own cloud folder), note where in the “Receipt” field, and export a CSV backup now and then.
