HSA contribution 2023

[rdesai603]

I am planning to do additional HSA contribution before April 15, 2024 for financial year 2023. Do I have to wait to file my tax return until the contribution transaction go through? Or I can file federal and state tax after entering amount before actual transaction complete?

You can go ahead and file your return including the information that you will make the additional contribution to your HSA before the due date.  

When you make the contribution, the custodian of the HSA will issue information to the IRS about the contribution.  Then the tax return and the contribution will match up.
