No it is not a contribution for 2016 because it is not new money. An HSA is generally exempt from tax. You are permitted to take a
distribution from your HSA at any time; however, only those
amounts used exclusively to pay for qualified
medical expenses are tax free. Amounts that remain at the end of the
year are
generally carried over to the next year.
