Frequently Asked Questions
Can I deduct HSA contributions as a self-employed person?
Yes. HSA contributions are an 'above the line' deduction, meaning they reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI). This lowers both your income tax and self-employment tax calculation base.
Should I use my business account for HSA contributions?
You can, but it's often simpler to contribute from personal funds. Either way, the deduction is the same. Just keep clear records separating business and personal finances.
What if my income varies month to month?
HSA contribution limits are annual, not monthly. You can contribute a lump sum, spread it out, or contribute when cash flow allows. As long as you don't exceed the annual limit, you're fine.
Is there an HSA option if I can't afford a high-deductible plan?
Unfortunately, HSAs require enrollment in a qualified HDHP. If you're on a different plan (ACA marketplace, spouse's employer plan, etc.), you may not be eligible. Check your plan's HSA qualification status.
