What is the purpose of a 1099-SA?

A 1099-SA is a tax form used to report distributions from Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Archer Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs), and Medicare Advantage MSAs. It provides the IRS and the account holder with information on the amount of funds withdrawn during the tax year, which may be subject to taxation if not used for qualified medical expenses. The form helps ensure proper reporting and compliance with tax regulations related to these accounts.
