How to deduct health savings account

To make a deduction you must file a Form 8889. Here is the 2023 Form 8889 Health Savings Accounts and Instructions for Form 8889 (2023).

File Form 8889 to:

• Figure your HSA deduction.
• Report distributions from HSAs.
• Figure amounts you must include in income and additional tax you may owe if you fail to be an eligible individual.

You must file Form 8889 if any of the following applies.

• You (or someone on your behalf, including your employer) made contributions for 2023 to your HSA.
• You received HSA distributions in 2023.

You acquired an interest in an HSA because of the death of the account beneficiary. See Death of Account Beneficiary.
