I'm looking for clarification on the rules for medical deductions vs. paying for medical expenses from HSA funds.
Say I have an AGI of $50,000 in 2017. I understand I can deduct medical expenses exceeding $5,000.
Say my medical expenses were $7,000 in 2017, I should be able to deduct $2,000.
Can I use HSA funds to reimburse myself for the first $5,000 of my $7,000?
My gut says no, but I have not been able to find anything via Google that explicitly says that.
