Because 529 contributions are not qualified medical expenses, the portion of your HSA distributions that you used for that purpose are taxable, not tax free. Any HSA distributions for 529 contributions that you made after age 65 would have escaped the 20% penalty.Hmmm, I’ve been taking $20k tax-free distributions from my HSA the last several years, and paying LTCi premiums monthly and funding 529 plans for 3 grandkids from the distributions. I’ll probably exhaust my HSA account balance of $92k in 4 or 5 years; then we’ll work on wife’s HSA balance of $26k. We’re 71 and 73 years old and have only a few years remaining for the account balance to be completely exhausted by reimbursement of eligible medical expenses. Oh well, it was a good ride when we started funding the accounts in 2008 and ended contributions in 2018 when I went on Medicare.
