Entering personal HSA contributions
How do I enter a personal contribution for an HSA acct. Need to show an asset(Savings) acct that increases and expense acct that decreases? Not employer/employee contribution thru payroll.

What party is making the contribution and why it is not going through the payroll?

I am paying for the HSA contribution thru my personal checking. My company (my husband and myself as an Scorp) pays the premium.



Do you make the payment to your company, and teh company pays it to the HSA account, or you are paying from your checking account directly into the HSA one?

The HSA contributions are paid thru our personal checking acct. The Premuims are paid thru our company as a deduction.



I am a bit confused here. If you pay contributions from your personal checking account, why you want to track it on the company's books? And how the premiums paid by company are relevant to the contributions you personally pay from your account?

Sorry! The company pays the HSA premuim. It is an expense for the company. We contribute to the account to fund it for medical expenses from our personal checking acct. How to I show on our personal balance sheet that we have an expense AND it is going into a savings account that we get paid interest on, too. Both an expense and income account entry. For tax purposes, we show an expense for the company for health insurance and on our personal taxes we have an adjustment to gross income on line 25/Form 1040.
