CareGuard establishes a bank account for the member that earns interest. Just like with any other bank account, the federal government taxes interest earned. The member will receive a 1099-INT if the account earns more than $10.00 in interest. For members with a Medicare Set Aside, according to Medicare’s guidelines, the funds in the MSA account can be used to pay for taxes on the interest earned by the account.
