Regular and catch-up HSA contributions can be made at any time for a taxable year up to and including your federal income tax return due date, excluding extensions for that taxable year. The due date for most taxpayers is April 15. We can set them up on our ACH Editor program so they can create a contribution file to send us. There is a one-time set up fee of $250 and then a fee of $25 per file plus $.10 per employee each time they send the file.

IRAs for a taxable year can be opened and funded any time between the first day of a tax year and the date a tax return is due for that year, excluding extensions. For most taxpayers, this due date is April 15 of the following year.

First, determine the maximum allowable contribution to your HSA (please see the question above). Second, subtract the amount the plan puts into your HSA through the plan's premium pass through. The remaining amount is what you can voluntarily contribute.

By statute, the annual HSA contribution cannot exceed the maximum contribution amount set by the IRS; however, additional contributions, called catch-up contributions, are available to those between the ages of 55 and 65.

There is no minimum contribution. However, the IRS dictates that the total dollars contributed to an HSA cannot exceed $2,900 for a single individual and $5,800 for an employee with two person or family coverage. These amounts include Lubrizol’s company contribution. The maximum amount you can contribute to your HSA (not including special catch-up contributions) depends upon the coverage level you elect.

Contributions made during the first 60 days of any year may be deducted for the current or the immediately preceding taxation year.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an investment account from which you can draw money tax-free for medical care. HSAs are owned by the individual and grow through investments, similar to an IRA. HSAs have favorable tax treatment for contributions, distributions and earnings. They are available to individuals covered by a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and can be established to pay for family medical expenses.

Contributions for 2004 and forward can be made anytime during the year up through the tax-filing deadline for that year, not including extensions. Generally, this means contributions can still be made up through April 15th for the prior tax year.

You have until March 1 (or February 29 in a leap year) to contribute to your RSP. Once this date has passed, RSP contributions are only deductible against your taxable income for the next (or any subsequent) year. (Please note: when March 1 or February 29 falls on a weekend, the deadline may be extended to the following Monday.)

Previously, the maximum HSA contribution was the lesser of the deductible of the individual's HSA-eligible plan or a statutory maximum. As of January 1, 2007, the maximum allowable contribution is the statutory maximum contribution, regardless of the individual's deductible. Therefore, for 2007, the maximum contribution for an eligible individual with self-only coverage is $2,850 and the maximum contribution for an eligible individual with family coverage is $5,650.

Generally, Lubrizol’s HSA contribution is deposited within 5 business days of the first biweekly pay date of the new year. In 2008, that day will be January 18. Coordination of HSA funding involves: ADP, Aetna and Lubrizol. ADP is responsible for identifying employer contributions and taking employee deductions. After each pay, ADP passes this information to Aetna, who requests funding from Lubrizol.

For 2005 contributions, if you have self-only coverage, you can contribute up to your deductible but no greater than $2,650. If you have family coverage, you can contribute up to your deductible but no greater than $5,250 . Note that these maximums depend on how many full months during the calendar year you remain eligible. Wellfund helps you determine your maximum contribution by determining your eligibility and calculating your maximum contribution for you.

Contributions for the taxable year can be made in one or more payments, at any time prior to the time for filing the eligible individual’s federal income tax return for that year (without extensions). This is generally April 15. Although the annual contribution is determined monthly, the maximum contribution may be made on the first day of the year. A married couple can make two catch-up contributions, as long as both spouses are at least age 55.

There are three deadlines throughout the year for submitting conference funding applications: December 1, April 1, and June 1. For forms regarding federal loans, private loans, withdrawal, loan consolidation, waivers, consortium agreements, etc., please see DU’s Office of Financial Aid. For forms regarding conference funding, research assistant applications, continuous enrollment, summer financial aid applications, etc., please see GSIS’s website.

The plan must be established and the contributions completed by the employer’s tax-filing due date, usually by April 15 following the tax year for which the deduction is taken.

There is no deadline. The committee solicits and evaluates applications from those who qualify once a month. Yes. Each application for a grant requires a separate proposal, and each application for a seed investment requires a unique business plan.

Previously, the HSA contribution was pro rated based on the number of months during the year that an individual was eligible for the HSA. Effective January 1, 2007, new provisions provide an exception that will allow individuals who become covered under an HSA-eligible plan in a month other than January to make the maximum HSA contribution for the year based on their coverage in the last month of the year. This eliminates a common barrier to switching HSA-eligible coverage.

Contributions made by an eligible individual to an HSA are deductible by the eligible individual in determining adjusted gross income (i.e., “above-the-line”). The contributions are deductible whether or not the eligible individual itemizes their deductions. However, the individual cannot also deduct the contributions as medical expense deductions under section 213.

Your eligibility to contribute to an HSA is determined by the effective date of your HDHP coverage. Your annual contribution depends on the number of months of HDHP coverage you have during the year (technically, the months where you have HDHP coverage on the first day of the month). The amount you can contribute is not determined by the date you establish your account. However, medical expenses incurred before the date your HSA is established cannot be reimbursed from the account.

Contributions are deductible by the eligible account holder when determining his or her adjusted gross income. They are deductible whether he or she itemizes deductions. However, the participant cannot also deduct these contributions as medical expense deductions.

The IRS imposes a penalty on excess contributions. Additionally, you'll be required to pay tax on the interest earned on those excess funds. You're responsible for tracking your contributions to ensure you don't exceed the maximum allowable contribution. However, you can withdraw excess contributions before the tax filing deadline to avoid the penalties. Please contact HSA Member Services if you need to report an excess amount.

It is the responsibility of the account holder to determine if contributions have exceeded the maximum allowable amount. It is also the responsibility of the account holder to request the distributions of those funds, and the payment of income tax on those funds and the a pro-rata share of the earnings, and the payment of the 10% penalty tax.

The IRS imposes a penalty on excess contributions, but allows, under certain circumstances, for corrective distributions to be made. Additionally, you may be required to pay tax on the interest earned on those excess funds.

Applications must be postmarked by the deadline date or hand-delivered to the Division office no later than 4:30 p.m. on the deadline date. Late or incomplete applications or applications submitted via fax or e-mail will not be accepted. Artist Residency grants are available six times during the year. Applications must be received in the Division office no later than 4:30 p.m. on the following dates: Opportunity Grants are available to artists and organizations six times during the year.

You may contribute your own money to your account by making a lump sum contribution or periodic payments at any time, in any amount up to a maximum limit established by the IRS. However, your trustee/custodian can impose minimum deposit and balance requirements. You can claim your total amount contributed for the year as an "above the line" tax deduction when you file your income taxes. Your own HSA contributions are either tax-deductible or pre-tax (if made by payroll deduction).

You must participate in a High Deductible Health Plan, have no other insurance coverage other than those specifically allowed, and not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return in order to be eligible for an HSA.
