Home » IRS Form 8889 (HSA)
IRS Form 8889 is used to report contributions to and distributions from a Health Savings Account (HSA). It is attached to Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR and is required for taxpayers who made or received HSA contributions (including employer contributions) or took distributions from an HSA. It allows taxpayers to claim a deduction for HSA contributions, report withdrawals, and determine any taxable amounts or penalties owed.
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are tax-advantaged accounts that help individuals save for qualified medical expenses. It acts like an emergency fund specifically for healthcare costs while offering tax benefits.
A taxpayer must file Form 8889 if any of the following applies:
For spouses who are receiving HSA distributions in a tax year, Form 8889 must be filed along with Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR.
Step 1: Enter Personal Information
Enter taxpayer’s name and Social Security Number (SSN) as shown on the tax return. If filing jointly, both spouses should have separate Form 8889s.
Step 2: Part I – HSA Contributions & Deductions
In this section, you will calculate:
Step 3: Part II – HSA Distributions
This section reports HSA withdrawals and whether they were used for qualified medical expenses including Total Distributions (Line 14a), Rollovers and Excess Contributions (Line 14b), Qualified Medical Expenses (Line 15), etc.
Step 4: Part III – Additional Taxes for Loss of Eligibility
Use this section to determine additional income or taxes owed due to failing to maintain High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) coverage under the last-month rule or an HSA funding distribution. Add adjustments for last-month rule (line 18), Qualified HSA Funding Distributions (Line 19), etc.
Step 5: Filing & Recordkeeping
Once completed, attach Form 8889 to the federal tax return. While it is not required to submit receipts for your medical expenses, you should keep them for at least three years in case of an audit.
Self-only coverage: $4,300
Family coverage: $8,550
Catch-up contribution (age 55+): Additional $1,000
