• If a family member or anyone else makes a contribution to your HSA, the tax advantages apply to you and not the person making the contribution. You may deduct the contribution amount when filing your annual income taxes, in the same way you would if you had deposited the post-tax contribution on your own. All contributions to the account are combined and subject to maximum annual contribution limits. This does not include any contributions made to your account by your employer. You do not take any deductions on contributions they make. Need to explain ER contributions are excludable from income.
