Employer contribution tax and limit basics

Employer contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible for your employer and tax-free for you as the employee, making it a win-win situation. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Your employer can contribute to your HSA, even if you decide not to.
• Employer contributions count towards the annual contribution limits set by the IRS.
• Employer contributions do not affect your ability to contribute to the HSA on your own.
