California continues to tax Health Savings Account contributions
California senators recently decided to continue taxing Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions (report). California is one of only five states that continue to tax HSA contributions. All of the other states have conformed to federal law, allowing a 100% tax deduction for any contributions to Health Savings Accounts. Because over 40% of all HSA owners appear to have been uninsured before buying their HSA policy, these plans provide a powerful way to reduce the number of uninsured.
California, along with Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, should get with the program.
