HSA contributions
« on: December 02, 2016, 11:27:43 AM »
Can I make a contribution to HSA account for 2015 tax year in 2016 but prior to filing tax return? 
Or does it have to be contributed by 12/31/15 to count towards 2015? 
I am making contributions myself, not through cafeteria plan at work.

I believe you have until April 15 to fund for the previous year, just like funding an IRA

Yep, up until tax day! Here's this past year's info in IRS Pub 969: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p969/ar02.html

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
