Title: Contributing to 2014 HSA in 2015 -- effect on 2015 HSA contribution limit?
Post by: Clean Shaven on March 31, 2015, 02:03:47 PM

I contributed $5000 to my HSA account in 2014.  I am making an additional contribution of $1550 today to the 2014 limit, to max out the 2014 contribution limit.

Does the fact that I make this 2014 contribution today, in 2015, have any effect on the max that I can contribute to the HSA for 2015?  In other words, can I still contribute the 2015 max of $6650?

Thanks - that's what I figured would be the case, but a quick google search and reading the IRS' site on HSAs didn't turn up the answer.  I appreciate the info.
