Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response.

 

My understanding from reading the IRS documentation is that I was no longer eligible to contribute to the HSA once I was covered by Medicare part A.  

 

The Medicare part A coverage started on April 1 2022. I expected that my April HSA contribution and my May HSA contribution were not allowed. The total for these two months is the $600. 

 

I also thought that I could correct this mistake prior to filing my taxes.

 

BTW these were made by my employer through payroll detection, if that matters.


As stated, it doesn't matter when during the year the contributions are made.  It only matters that your contributions be less than your maximum eligibility.  If you enrolled in Medicare on April 1, then you have 3 months of eligibility, and your contribution limit for the year is $1162 (if you were covered by a single HDHP) or $2075 (if you were covered by a family HDHP).
