Will I Get a 109 if I Had No Distributions from HSA in 2017?

If you had no distributions from your HSA (Health Savings Account) in 2017, you may still receive a Form 1099-SA. This form is used to report distributions made from your HSA during the tax year. Even if you didn't take any money out of your HSA, the financial institution managing your account may still send you a 1099-SA for record-keeping purposes.

However, receiving a 1099-SA does not necessarily mean you owe taxes on the account. If the distributions were used for qualified medical expenses, they are generally not subject to taxes or penalties. In the case of no distributions, you may not have any tax implications, but you should keep the form for your records and provide it when filing your taxes.


If you didn’t withdraw any funds from your Health Savings Account (HSA) in 2017, it's possible that you will still receive a Form 1099-SA. This form is essential for reporting distributions from your HSA during the tax year, even if no distributions occurred. The financial institution managing your account often provides this document for your financial records.

It’s important to understand that receiving a 1099-SA alone doesn’t indicate you owe taxes. Distributions made for qualified medical expenses are typically exempt from taxes and penalties. Therefore, even without any withdrawals, you should keep this form in your records and present it when preparing your taxes to ensure full disclosure and compliance.
