Q.- We offer a high deductible health plan with health savings account. We forward employee contributions to the HSA vendor but do not have any information about claims reimbursements. That is all done by the vendor. One of our employees asked our HR department about a tax form for filing his income taxes. Is there a tax form for HSA participants?

A.- Yes. When filing taxes, employees must include IRS Form 8889 if the employee (or someone on the employee’s behalf) made contributions to an HSA, or if the employee received HSA distributions for the year. Presumably the HSA vendor will issue Form 8889.
