Form INFORMATIONS

Part I – HSA Contributions and Deductions:

Report all contributions made to your HSA during the tax year, including those from your employer. Enter any excess contributions separately. This determines the deduction you can claim on your tax return.

Part II – HSA Distributions:

Record all distributions from your HSA used to pay qualified medical expenses. Include any taxable or non-qualified distributions that may be subject to additional tax.

Part III – Income and Additional Tax:

Calculate any additional tax owed for non-qualified distributions and report the total taxable HSA distributions. This ensures your return reflects the correct taxable income.

Employer Information:

Include your employer's name, address, and Employer Identification Number (EIN), if applicable, especially for contributions made through payroll.

Your Personal Information:

Enter your name, Social Security Number, and address exactly as filed on your tax return. Mistakes here can delay processing.

Explanation of Changes (if amending):

If correcting previous HSA contributions or distributions, provide clear reasons and attach supporting documentation like corrected 5498-SA or 1099-SA forms.

WHAT IS FORM 8889?

What Is Form 8889 and Who Needs to File It?

IRS Form 8889, officially titled "Health Savings Accounts," is used by taxpayers to report contributions to and distributions from their HSAs. You must file it if you or your employer contributed to an HSA, or if you took distributions during the tax year.

Unlike your W-2 or 1099 forms, which report income, Form 8889 determines the HSA deduction, taxable income, and any additional tax owed on nonqualified distributions.

If any of the following describe you, you need to file Form 8889: You or your employer made contributions to your HSA. You withdrew funds from your HSA to pay for medical expenses. You need to correct excess contributions or report non-qualified distributions.

The form appears short, but calculating deductions, tracking contributions, and reporting distributions correctly can be complex, especially with multiple HSAs. That's where Simplicity AI comes in.

Common Mistakes When Filing Form 8889
(and How AI Prevents Them)

Failing to include employer contributions or overstating your own contributions can trigger IRS notices. Simplicity AI pulls all contribution data from source statements.

Mismatched Distribution Amounts

Distributions must match 1099-SA forms. Mistakes create taxable income errors. AI cross-checks all distributions automatically.

Forgetting Non-Qualified Distributions

Any withdrawal not used for qualified medical expenses is taxable and may be subject to a 20% penalty. AI highlights these fields to ensure accuracy.
