In response to "Please help David do this year's taxes." by David

did you exceed your maximum contribution (your amount + that 1300) for the year?

Posted by b. (aka starrynit) Apr 6 '11, 13:28

google says that may be a thing:

Although you cannot deduct your employer�s HSA contribution, the contribution is not taxable to you or subject to income tax withholding or other employment taxes if it does not exceed your maximum contribution limit for that year.

I...don't know. If the question is whether we paid more than $1,300 in medical expenses, the answer is good lord, yes. -- nm - David Apr 6, 13:31 17
- (No, we did not.) -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:37 3
  - I think the relevant question is "how much did you pay out of pocket after having depleted the HSA?" -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 13:44 1
    - a bajillion dollars. - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:44
  - (contribute more than $1,300 to the HSA). -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:38
- Could it be that they want to know if you spent in excess of 1300, out of pocket, that was NOT covered/reimbursed by insurance? (Not an expert here) -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:35 2
  - well that would be a Schedule A itemized deductions entry, -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 13:36 1
    - Yes, that was the part I was thinking about. Are talking about the main 1040 and not the Schedule A? -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 13:45
- so this is an HSA or something else? - tRuMaN Apr 6, 13:33 9
  - right, I'm referring to hsa-type contributions, which it sounds like it may be. I don't know about insurance doing that, but it can work the way I - b. Apr 6, 13:37 8
    - It's HSA. The only thing that went in the HSA is $1,300. - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:38 7
      - well, the 1099-sa should have the amount of contribution, the amount spent, and a box stating the amount not taxable. - tRuMaN Apr 6, 13:39 6
        
        I'm not sure I got a 1099-sa. It's listed on the W2. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:42 5
        
        is it a check box? box e, I think? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 13:45
        
        Is it pre-tax dollars? Not all benefits are (I think). -- nm - mara Apr 6, 13:44 2
        
        I think HSA is after tax dollars, if I remember right. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 6, 13:45 1
        
        then it can't impact your tax liability. you've already paid taxes on it. you can't pay twice. - amanda jones, transitarian Apr 6, 13:47
        
        hmm, thinking. give me a minute. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 6, 13:44
