2017 HSA Contribution Deadline

(March 1, 2018) The deadline for making HSA contributions for tax year 2017 is Tuesday, April 17, 2018. While the deadline for making HSA contributions is typically April 15th (the HSA owner's tax-filing deadline for the year), when the deadline falls on a weekend or a holiday, the deadline is extended. By law, filing and payment deadlines (including the deadline for making HSA contributions) that fall on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday are timely satisfied if met on the next business day. Legal holiday includes a legal holiday observed in the District of Columbia. For tax year 2017 HSA contributions, the later than usual contribution deadline is a result of April 15th falling on a Sunday, and then followed by Emancipation Day (a holiday observed in the District of Columbia) on Monday, April 16th. As a result, all U.S. taxpayers, nationwide have until Tuesday, April 17, 2018 to HSA contributions for tax year 2017.

Patriots’ Day, which has played a role in the HSA contribution deadline in recent years for some taxpayers, will not further extend the deadline for 2017 HSA contributions, as Patriot’s Day is also on Monday, April 16th, 2018.
