If you've make the qualified HSA contribution in 2017, you may take the deduction. The HSA deadline is the regular deadline for filing your 2017 tax return, April 17, 2018. <SPAN>You will need to contact the trustee of your HSA to ensure that they credit your January 1, 2018 through April 17, 2018 contributions to the correct tax year.<SPAN> As long as you were covered under an HDHP for 2017 and no other type of plan, you qualify for the contribution.<BR /></SPAN></SPAN></P><P>There is no requirement to use the HSA at any particular time. You can save it for retirement, if you wish. When you take a distribution, whether in 2018 or 2038, as long as you use the proceeds for qualified medical expense, it will be a tax-free distribution.</P><P>If you have additional questions or details regarding this, please feel free to post in the comments for further clarification.</P><P> <BR /> </P><BR /><BR /><BR /> Tue, 04 Jun 2019 19:39:50 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/yes-if-you-ve-make-the-qualified-hsa-contribution-in-201/01/395613#M49953 MichaelDC 2019-06-04T19:39:50Z
