If you are eligible to contribute to an HSA, you may be wondering if you can fund your account for the 2020 tax year. The good news is, yes, you can still fund your HSA for the 2020 tax year, even after the year has ended.

Here's what you need to know about funding your 2020 HSA account:

Key rules and tax benefits for 2020

• You have until the tax filing deadline in April to contribute to your HSA for the previous year. For the 2020 tax year, the deadline is April 15, 2021.
• The contribution limits for 2020 are $3,550 for individuals and $7,100 for families. If you are 55 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000.
• Contributions to your HSA are tax-deductible, meaning you can reduce your taxable income by the amount you contribute to your HSA.
• Funds in your HSA can be invested and grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free.
• It's important to keep track of your contributions and ensure you do not exceed the annual limits to avoid tax penalties.
