Frequently Asked Questions About Filing Form 5498-SA Online
What are the changes to the IRS Reporting after the Death of the Account Holder?
In the year an HSA, Archer MSA, or MA MSA owner dies, generally you must file a Form 5498-SA and furnish a statement for the decedent. If the designated beneficiary is the surviving spouse, the following will apply.
- The spouse becomes the account holder of the HSA or Archer MSA.
- An MA MSA is treated as an Archer MSA of the spouse for distribution purposes, but no new contributions may be made to the account.
If the designated beneficiary is not the spouse or there is no designated beneficiary, the account ceases to be an HSA, Archer MSA, or MA MSA.
When Must Form 5498-SA Copies be Provided to Participants?
If you need to file Form 5498-SA, you must send a copy of it (Copy B) to the participant by June 01, 2026.
You can also send them a statement indicating the fair market value (FMV) of the account as of December 31, 2025, although it is not required. If you decide to do this, you should send it by February 2, 2026.
If you have furnished the FMV statement of the account to the participant by February 2, 2026, and there are no reportable contributions (including rollovers) into the account, then:
- You don’t need to send another statement to the participant to report zero contributions.
- However, you still need to file Form 5498-SA with the IRS by June 01, 2026, to report the account’s fair market value (FMV) as of December 31, 2025.
If you do not furnish another statement to the participant because there were no reportable contributions for the year, you must still include the fair market value (FMV) of the account, and it must contain a note (legend) explaining what information is reported to the IRS.
How can I apply for an extension to file Form 5498-SA?
To request an extension, submit Form 8809 (Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns) to the IRS on or before the original filing due date. An approved extension grants an additional 30 days to file with the IRS.
If you need an extension to furnish participant copies, you must file Form 15397 (Application for Extension of Time to Furnish Recipient Statements).
