Are 2018 HSA Contributions Tax Deductible? Everything You Need to Know

If you're wondering whether your 2018 HSA contributions are tax-deductible, you're in the right place to get all the details!

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a smart way to save for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. But when it comes to tax-deductibility of contributions, there are specific rules to follow. Here's what you need to know:

• For the tax year 2018, the IRS allows tax-deductible HSA contributions if you meet certain criteria.
• If you are an individual, you can contribute up to $3,450 to your HSA, and for families, the limit is $6,900.
• Contributions made by your employer are generally not included in your gross income.
• If you made contributions with after-tax income, you can deduct them from your gross income when filing your taxes.
• However, if you exceed the contribution limits, you may face tax penalties.

It's essential to keep accurate records of your HSA contributions to ensure tax-deductibility. Consult with a tax professional to maximize your tax benefits and avoid any penalties.
