What is the last date to fund 2017 HSA?

As we approach the end of the year, many individuals are wondering about the deadline to fund their Health Savings Account (HSA) for the 2017 tax year. It's important to be aware of this date to maximize the benefits of your HSA and plan your contributions accordingly.

The last date to fund your 2017 HSA is typically the tax filing deadline for that year, which is usually April 15th of the following year. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, so it's essential to double-check with your HSA provider or financial advisor to confirm the exact deadline.

Contributing to your HSA before the deadline not only allows you to take advantage of tax deductions for the 2017 tax year but also helps you save for future healthcare expenses tax-free. Additionally, any unused funds in your HSA can be carried over to the next year, unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs).

As the year draws to a close, it's vital to remember that the last date to fund your Health Savings Account (HSA) for the 2017 tax year falls on April 15th of the following year. Be proactive and check your contributions early!
