You are responsible for making sure that your annual HSA contributions do not exceed the IRS limit. If you realize you have gone over the annual limit, go to the member website and follow these steps to have the overage returned to you:
- Go to “Tools & Support” > “Account Support & Forms.”
- Download and open the HSA Distribution Request Form.
- Check the box for “Excess Contribution Removal” in Step 2a, and include the date of the excess contribution.
- Sign and mail or fax the form.
- If you make HSA contributions through payroll, you may want to stop these contributions for the remainder of the year.
