Luther, age 54, and Lexi, age 56, are married and file a joint return.

 Lexi has family coverage through her High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) at work. In 2023, Lexi

contributed $2,350 to her Health Savings Account (HSA). Luther made contributions totaling $3,000 to his HSA in 2023.

 Luther's Form 1099-SA shows a distribution from his HSA of $3,000. They have receipts showing they paid:

o $300 for new eyeglasses for Lexi,

o $2,200 in copays for doctor visits and tests,

o $400 for over the counter medication, and

o $100 for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and home COVID-19 tests

 In April 2023, Luther was diagnosed by his physician with a terminal illness. In May, Luther and Lexi decided to take a luxury vacation before his health deteriorated. They used a distribution from Luther's IRA to pay for it. They received a Form 1099-R showing $15,000 in Box 1, and code 1 in Box 7.

 Lexi sold a used handbag on an online marketplace. She received a Form 1099-K reporting the $700 sale. She originally paid $1,000 for the bag.

 Luther and Lexi are U.S. citizens with valid Social Security numbers.

7. How much of Luthers Form 1099-SA amount is taxable?

a. $0 because they had qualified medical expenses of $3,000

b. $100 because PPE is not a qualified expense for 2023

c. $300 because Luther cant use money from his HSA to pay for Lexis medical expenses

d. $400 because over the counter medicine is not a qualified medical expense
