Bill, can I get your thoughts on my similar issue?
I delayed Medicare enrollment so I could keep contributing to my HSA. I enrolled in Social Security and Medicare effective January 2021 -- the month I turned 66. I knew about the 6 month retroactive period for Medicare A, so I thought I could contribute to my HSA through June 2020. However, I started my application process in September, and found that because of this, my Medicare A was retroactive to March 2020. So, definitely any contribution from March to June is now ineligible. Then, to make it worse, I discovered the pro-rated allowed contributions based on months of eligibility. So, my question: if I understand the IRS correctly, I would only be allowed two months of eligibility so my limit for 2020 would be 2/12 of ($3550+$1000) = $758? Also, if my 2020 contributions were from me and from my employer, do I need to submit two requests for adjustment -- me directly to the fund and me to my employer? **Thank you, in advance!
