Should I get a 1099 for my HSA?

IRS Form 1099-SA is provided for each HSA distribution you made in the current tax year. You will receive a separate 1099-SA for each type of distribution made during the tax year. IRS Form 5498-SA provides you with all the contributions made to your Health Savings Account in that tax year.

What happens if I don’t file my 1099-SA?

Do I have to pay taxes on my HSA distributions?

HSA distributions are exempt from income taxes if all of the funds are used to pay qualified medical expenses that were incurred after the HSA was established. If any portion of a distribution is not used for qualified medical expenses, that portion is taxable as income and subject to a 20 percent penalty.

How do I report a 1099-SA on my tax return?

You report the taxable amount on the “other income” line of your tax return and write “HSA” beside it. You will also have to pay an additional tax of 20 percent on the taxable portion of your distribution, which you’ll calculate on Form 8889.
