Inviting family members to your household

The IRS lets you reimburse yourself for qualified medical expenses incurred by you, your spouse, and any tax dependents — even if they're not on your insurance. Reimbursable lets you track expenses for your whole household in one place.

Adding a household member

1. Open the account menu (top right) and click Manage Household.
2. Click Add member.
3. Enter their name and (optionally) their date of birth.
4. Save.

That's it. They'll now appear in the Family member dropdown on every expense, so you can tag bills correctly as you log them.

Why this matters at tax time

Form 8889 doesn't ask which family member each expense was for, but the IRS does want a clear record if you ever get audited. Having an itemized ledger by household member — kids' braces under your daughter's name, your spouse's PT under your spouse's name — is exactly the kind of clean record-keeping that holds up.

Editing or removing a member

On the Manage Household page, click any member to edit their name or remove them. Removing a member doesn't delete their expenses — those stay in your ledger, but they'll be unassigned. You can re-tag them to yourself or another member if needed.

Account owner display

You — the account owner — show up as your real name (pulled from your Google account or your sign-up). You don't need to add yourself as a member.

Limits

There's no hard limit on the number of household members. Add as many as you need.

Important note

Adding a household member here is just for record-keeping in your own ledger. It doesn't share access with them, and it doesn't send them any email. If you want your spouse to log into Reimbursable themselves, they need their own free account.
