What Is the Deadline for HSA Contributions for 2017?

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA), you might be wondering about the deadline for contributions for the year 2017. The deadline for making contributions to your HSA for the 2017 tax year is the tax filing deadline, typically April 15 of the following year. However, there is a special rule that allows you to make contributions up until the tax filing deadline, excluding extensions, which is usually October 15, 2018.

Contributions made to your HSA by the deadline can be deducted on your 2017 tax return, reducing your taxable income and potentially lowering your overall tax bill. HSA contributions are tax-deductible, grow tax-free, and can be withdrawn tax-free for qualified medical expenses.

The deadline for contributing to your Health Savings Account (HSA) for the 2017 tax year coincides with the tax filing deadline, which is generally April 15 of the following year. This means that if you haven't fully funded your HSA by this date, you still have the chance to do so until the deadline.
