Prior Year HSA Contribution Not Reported
I made an extra contribution (most of the time it comes from payroll deductions) to our HSA before the deadline. However, I forgot to report it on our tax return. It is for 2018 which I know means the return itself can only be amended up until 4/15/22. If I can't deduct it at this point, can I take a distribution of it?
What actually happened is that I reported the 2018 extra contribution as a 2019 contribution since I contributed by 4/15/19. It's weird, the 2019 Year End Statement says it's a 2018 contribution, but the file the HSA company sent to the IRS says it's part of the 2019 current year contributions. Big mess. And, of course, it looks like every year they've been reporting the prior year contributions as current year which is how I filed them.
