Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way to save for medical expenses while also reducing your taxable income. One common question many people have is how late can they make a contribution for the previous tax year. For 2017 HSA deposits, you have until the tax filing deadline, which is usually April 15th of the following year. However, this deadline can be extended if you file for an extension.

• You have until the tax filing deadline (usually April 15th) of the following year to make a contribution for the previous tax year.
• If you file for a tax extension, you can make your 2017 HSA deposit up until the extended deadline, which is usually October 15th.
