Is an HSA Deposit Deductible Up Until Tax Deadline?

Are you wondering if your HSA deposit is deductible up until the tax deadline? The short answer is yes! Making a contribution to your Health Savings Account (HSA) can offer you tax advantages, and you have the flexibility to contribute up until the tax deadline for that tax year.

Here's what you need to know:

• When you contribute to your HSA, the amount is tax-deductible on your federal income tax return, lowering your taxable income.
• You can make contributions to your HSA for a particular tax year up until the tax filing deadline for that year, typically April 15th of the following year.
• For the tax year 2021, the contribution limit for individuals is $3,600 and $7,200 for families.
• Individuals aged 55 and older can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000.

By contributing to your HSA, you not only get tax benefits but also have a dedicated fund for qualified medical expenses both now and in the future. Keep in mind that HSA funds roll over from year to year, unlike flexible spending accounts (FSAs).

Yes, your HSA deposit is deductible up until the tax deadline! This means if you haven't contributed the maximum amount to your Health Savings Account yet, you still have the opportunity to do so and enjoy these tax advantages before the filing deadline on April 15th.
