Contributions made between January 1 and April 15 of the next year can be counted towards the previous tax year if you specify it on your tax return.

Absolutely! If you missed making contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2017, don't worry. You can still contribute right up to the tax filing deadline, which falls on April 15 of the following year.

Contributing maximum with full-year eligible coverage

If you have an HSA-eligible health insurance plan for the entire tax year, you can contribute the maximum allowed amount for that year.
