How Are Contributions Made to an HSA?
Tax-advantaged contributions can be made in three ways:
- You or your family can make tax deductible contributions to your HSA even if you do not itemize deductions on your federal income tax return.
- Your employer can make contributions that are not taxed to either you or your employer.
- Employers may allow employees to contribute untaxed salary through a salary reduction program.
