How do I contribute to my HSA?

High Deductible Health Plans(HDHP) with Health Savings Accou...
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).

If your employer makes a contribution on your behalf, it is not included in your taxable income. Contributions made by others are always at the benefit of the HSA owner, and can be deducted by the HSA owner.
