Does it matter if HSA contribution date for previous year is one day later (03/26) than filing date(03/25)? the delay was due to how HSA posted my contribution.

my return is already filed and accepted but I am not sure if it will be picked up for audit due to this date discrepancy. Experts - please clarify.

Are you saying that you e-filed your return on 3/25/2019 but the HSA contribution for 2018 (made in 2019) was dated 3/26/2019?

If so, that is no problem. The requirement is to make the contribution before the due date of the return, which you did. The filing date of your return relative to the post date of your contribution does not matter.

thank you for clarifying the requirement TurboTaxBillMc. Yes. Filed date was 03/25 while HSA contributed date for 2018 was 03/26/19 (probably because of system timestamps/timezones). Glad to know that it does not matter.
