What are my responsibilities as an HSA account holder?
Your HSA belongs to you. You’re responsible for maintaining the account. Here’s what is expected of you as an HSA holder:
  • Ensure that you have an HSA-qualified HDHP
  • Ensure that contributions do not exceed your applicable annual IRS maximum
  • Ensure that withdrawals for non-qualified expenses are added back to gross income
  • Keep all records that support withdrawals from your account.
  • Complete the required tax form (Form 8889) and attach it to Form 1040
  • Ensure that you do not have any medical coverage that will disqualify the HSA including a general purpose FSA
  • Ensure that you cannot be claimed as someone else’s tax dependent
