Deductions & credits

1. Yes, you can still contribute to a HSA if you have a HDHP even through Cobra.

 

2. You can fund your HSA account through the administrator of your choice.

 

3. You can't deduct the Cobra premiums as Self-employed Health Insurance, as the IRS requires that the health insurance be in the name of the self-employed person or the business's name.

 

The policy cannot be through your spouse's employer.

 

The IRS says in this document page 1:

 

For self-employed individuals filing a Schedule C (Form 1040) or F (Form 1040), a policy can be either in the name of the business or in the name of the individual.

 

But you can deduct them as Medical expenses if you itemize deductions.
