Form 8889 is the IRS tax form for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), used to report contributions, figure deductions, track distributions, and calculate any taxes owed on non-qualified withdrawals, requiring attachment to your Form 1040 if you had HSA activity (contributions or distributions) during the year. It details tax-advantaged savings for medical expenses, including employer contributions (W-2, Code W), individual contributions (Form 5498-SA), and distributions (Form 1099-SA). 
 
Key Functions of Form 8889
  • Part III: Excess Contributions/Special Circumstances: Addresses excess contributions or if you failed to be an eligible individual (covered by a High Deductible Health Plan) during a testing period, which can trigger income and extra tax
  • Part I: Contributions & Deduction: Reports all contributions (employee, employer, others) and calculates your allowable tax deduction for contributions not made through payroll.
  • Part II: Distributions: Reports money taken out of the HSA, determining if it was used for 
    qualified medical expenses (tax-free) or for other reasons (taxable + potential 10% penalty).
