When to withdraw from an HSA to an IRA?

HSAs offer tax-free contributions (and investment growth), while withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free.

What’s the difference between an IRA and an HSA?

The primary difference is the age at which no penalty tax applies and the amount of the penalty tax. With an IRA after age 59 ½ funds are available with no penalty tax. With an HSA, funds are available anytime for qualified medical expenses, but if used for other reasons a 20% penalty tax applies until you reach age 65.
