The IRS and the Federal Courts have deemed certain medical and healthcare expenses to be non-qualified for reimbursement through Health Savings Accounts (HSA). If you make a withdrawal for non-qualified health care expenses, a penalty of 20% plus ordinary income taxes will be due on the amount used.
