Keep track of your expenses
We don’t need to see your receipts, but the IRS might. You should keep documentation of your purchases in case the IRS asks for it, and you have to provide proof of how you spent the money from your account, which you can track with your prepaid card
What if I buy something that doesn't qualify?
You’ll have to pay tax on growth, plus a 10% penalty on earnings for non-eligible items. Also, keep in mind that any non-eligible withdrawals are considered income for the month and could count against your eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits or Medicaid.
