Form W-2 is provided annually by your employer & reports your total annual wages & taxes withheld. Box 12 of your W-2 details contributions made to your Workplace Retirement Plan and/or your Health Savings Account (HSA).

Prior to inputting this information on your tax return, you may want to review your account to see total contributions for the year.

Distributions of $10 or more from one of the following account types will generate a 1099-R form:

> Individual Retirement Account (IRA)


BPAS is required by the IRS to mail 1099-R forms no later than January 31. A copy will also be posted to the Participant Portal once the Form has been mailed to you. If you do not have a copy of your 1099-R by February 15th, please contact BPAS Participant Services.

If you do not take any distributions from your HSA during the year, you will not receive a 1099-SA.
