2017 HSA contribution deadline details

If you are considering contributing to your Health Savings Account (HSA) for the year 2017, there are a few key things to keep in mind. The deadline for 2017 HSA contributions is usually the tax filing deadline for that year, which is typically April 15 of the following year. However, the IRS has made an exception for HSA contributions, allowing individuals to contribute to their HSA for the previous tax year up until the tax filing deadline without extensions. This means that you have until April 15, 2018, to make a contribution to your HSA for the year 2017.

If you're looking to contribute to your Health Savings Account (HSA) for the year 2017, it’s essential to remember that the deadline aligns with the tax filing date, which is generally April 15, 2018, for that year's contributions.

Month-by-month eligibility for 2017

It's important to note that you must have been eligible to contribute to an HSA for the months you are claiming for the previous year. For example, if you were enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) as of December 1, 2017, you can contribute to your HSA for the entire year. However, if you were not enrolled in an HDHP until June 1, 2017, you can only contribute for the months from June to December. Remember to keep track of your contributions and eligibility to maximize the benefits of your HSA.
