Are HSA Contributions Deducted from AGI? Learn About HSA Benefits

Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, are a valuable tool for individuals looking to save for medical expenses while reducing taxable income. One common question that arises is whether HSA contributions are deducted from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).

Here's what you need to know:

Contributions made to your HSA are deducted from your taxable income, which in turn reduces your AGI. This means that when you contribute to your HSA, those contributions are made on a pre-tax basis.

Reducing your AGI has various benefits:

• Lower taxable income, potentially resulting in tax savings
• Qualifying for other tax deductions or credits that are based on AGI

It's important to note that the maximum annual contribution limits apply to HSA contributions:

• For 2021, the limit is $3,600 for individuals and $7,200 for families
• If you're 55 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000

Overall, HSA contributions play a significant role in reducing your taxable income and providing a tax-efficient way to save for medical expenses.

Did you know that Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) can significantly lower your taxable income? Contributions to your HSA are indeed deducted from your taxable income, effectively reducing your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).
