Filing Your Tax Return

With such great tax breaks, it’s probably not a surprise you’ll need to do some tax work. We’ll help you by supplying key IRS forms. But, it's up to you to file your annual federal and state income tax returns. Keep in mind:

  • Contributions (deposits) are tax-deductible
  • Earnings on your balance and investments are not taxed
  • Distributions (withdrawals) used to pay for qualified medical expenses are not taxed1


To help you get organized this year, we have compiled an HSA checklist that summarizes the IRS forms you will need to file your 2021 Federal Income Tax Return.

1Qualified medical expenses are defined in Section 213 (d) of the Internal Revenue Code. A partial list can be found in IRS Publication 502. Any distributions used for purposes other than to pay for “qualified medical expenses” are taxable as income.
