Hi. I have a HSA account through my employer. My employer puts in $750 into the account and also deducts from may paycheck to add to the account. Do contributions made through payroll deductions count as Employer Contributions?
If so, does that mean these funds would qualify for the Employer Excess Contribution exception that allows 6 months from the tax due date to withdraw any excess contributions as found on the IRS website:
https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8889#en_US_2024_publink37971yd0e1392
Under Employer Excess Contributions
"Note: If you timely filed your return without withdrawing the excess contributions, you can still make the withdrawal no later than 6 months after the due date of your tax return, excluding extensions. If you do, file an amended return with “Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2” written at the top. Include an explanation of the withdrawal. Make all necessary changes on the amended return (for example, if you reported the contributions as excess contributions on your original return, include an amended Form 5329 reflecting that the withdrawn contributions are no longer treated as having been contributed)."
