How are contributions made to my HSA account?

11/02/2017

Contributions can be made by you, your employer or both. However, the total contributions are limited annually. There are two ways you can contribute to your HSA account:

  1. Do the paperwork – send your contribution to the bank. You’ve paid taxes on this money already so you’ll have to deduct this amount when you file your taxes.
  2. Skip the paperwork – Avoid the taxes and have your employer deduct your contribution pre-tax from your paycheck. They will forward your contribution to the bank. Your contributions are tax-free so there’s no need to worry about deducting on your taxes.
