Entering MSA, HSA, and Form 1099-SA Information in TurboTax

A Medical Savings Account (MSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-exempt trust or custodial account, established by you and your employer, to pay for your qualified medical expenses. Distributions are reported on Form 1099-SA.

Important: Regular health insurance premiums which are deducted from employee paychecks are not MSAs or HSAs. Check with your payroll department if you are not sure.
