If your employer makes a contribution to an HSA for you, you are not allowed to deduct that contribution on your income tax return. Your employer, however, will be able to deduct the contribution up to your maximum contribution limit for that year. Although you cannot deduct your employer’s HSA contribution, the contribution is not taxable to you or subject to income tax withholding or other employment taxes if it does not exceed your maximum contribution limit for that year.

Employer contributions to an employee’s HSA are excludable from the employee’s gross income, up to the maximum contribution limit for that employee. Although the employee cannot deduct the employer’s HSA contributions, the contributions are not taxable to the employee nor are they subject to withholding from wages for income tax or other employment taxes. HSA contributions by employers are considered a type of benefit, and are therefore, tax-deductible for the employer.
