What Form Does HSA Distributions Go On? All You Need to Know

Health Savings Account (HSA) distributions typically go on Form 1099-SA, which is used to report HSA distributions to the IRS and the account holder.

When you take a distribution from your HSA, the financial institution holding your account will issue you a Form 1099-SA for tax reporting purposes. This form shows the total amount of HSA distributions you received during the tax year.

It's important to understand how HSA distributions are taxed:

• If the distribution is used for qualified medical expenses, it is tax-free.
• If the distribution is used for non-qualified expenses, it is subject to income tax and an additional 20% penalty tax for those under 65.

Additionally, if you contribute to your HSA with post-tax dollars, you can deduct those contributions on your tax return, further reducing your taxable income.

When it comes to managing your Health Savings Account (HSA), understanding the distribution process is essential. HSA distributions are reported on Form 1099-SA, which you will receive from your financial institution after taking money from your account.
