Qualified HSA distributions after testing failure

Yes, you can take HSA qualified distributions after the year you fail the testing period. If you fail to meet the testing period requirements for your HSA, you may be subject to additional taxes and penalties. However, once the testing period is completed, you can resume taking qualified distributions from your HSA without any issues.

Absolutely! If you find yourself in a position where you fail the HSA testing period, don't worry too much. You can still take those qualified distributions after the testing period is over. Remember, this doesn't mean you'll escape potential taxes and penalties for the year you failed, so keep that in mind as you plan your finances.
