HSAs offer a triple tax advantage; employer and individual contributions to the HSA are tax deductible, earnings on your Comerica HealthReserve funds are tax deferred, and using your Comerica HealthReserve for eligible medical expenses is tax free.1 

While federal tax reporting is standardized, HSA state income tax reporting may vary from from state to state. There are several forms associated with your Comerica HealthReserve that may be required in filing your federal tax return.  These forms may include:
 

    IRS Form 1099-SA      
    Form 1099-SA details the distributions made from your Health Savings Account. You may also receive a 1099-SA for each type of distribution you made during the tax year. There are five types of distributions from your Comerica HealthReserve: normal, excess contribution removal, prohibited transaction, disability and death.
