Frequently asked questions

  • How long will an HSA transfer take?

    It may take 2–5 weeks or, in some cases, more, depending on how quickly your current HSA provider responds. If any of your HSA money is invested, your current HSA may be held in 2 separate accounts which are both eligible to be transferred.

    • A bank account holding your cash balance
    • A brokerage account holding your investments
  • What if part of the HSA I want to transfer to Fidelity is invested?

    If your HSA money is invested, you may be able to do an in-kind transfer into a self-directed HSA, which allows your HSA provider to transfer both your cash balance and your investments to Fidelity. You may need a separate transfer request for each. Some HSA providers don't allow this, which means you'd need to liquidate your investments before moving the money.

    Transfers directly into a Fidelity Go® HSA can be made in cash or in-kind, if they are transferred in-kind they will be liquidated and reinvested, but you can transfer securities you don’t wish to liquidate into a Fidelity HSA®.

  • Can I transfer my existing HSA to Fidelity if I'm no longer eligible to contribute to an HSA?

    Yes, you can. You don't have to be an eligible individual to make rollover contributions or transfer existing assets, since these don't count as new contributions.

  • Will I need to report this on my taxes?

    Since assets are transferred directly from trustee to trustee, this is a non-reportable transfer, and there will be no tax forms to worry about. Don't include the amount transferred in income, deduct it as a contribution, or include it as a distribution when you file your taxes. You can process an unlimited number of TOAs per year and they're not subject to annual contribution limits.

  • My other HSA provider already closed my account and I have possession of the funds. How can I get this rolled into my Fidelity HSA?

    If you have taken possession of the funds, you no longer qualify for the non-reportable transfer of assets. However, you can still process a rollover into the HSA within 60 days of receiving the funds. You can mail in the check with a deposit slip and we'll get it processed for you. This will be reported as a rollover contribution on your taxes. You can only make one rollover contribution to an HSA per year. It's not included in your income, isn't tax-deductible, and doesn't reduce your contribution limit. Please consult a tax advisor with questions.
