Rules for deducting contributions and records
Here are the key points to keep in mind regarding when you can claim HSA contributions on your taxes:
- You can claim HSA contributions made by you or your employer.
- If your contributions were made through payroll deductions, they are already considered pre-tax, so you do not need to claim them on your taxes.
- If you made contributions outside of payroll deductions, you can deduct those contributions on your tax return.
- Be sure to keep accurate records of your HSA contributions for tax purposes.
