Health Savings Account (HSA) Tax Documents

If you’re enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan with an HSA, you will need certain documents when filing your taxes. Contributions and

withdrawals associated with your HSA must be reported when you fill out your 2018 tax returns. Discovery Benefits does not mail out tax

documentation, but you can get what you need in their employee portal on the Discovery Benefits website.

You will need the following forms:

Form 1099-SA – This form records all distributions from an HSA during the tax year.

Form 8889 – This is the form individuals use to report any withdrawals or contributions (both self-contributed or employer-contributed) made

during the tax year. This form should be attached to your completed 1040.

If you have questions, please contact Discovery Benefits at 866.451.3399, email at customerservice@discoverybenefits.com, or log in by

going to DiscoveryBenefits.com, clicking Login, and selecting HSA, FSA, HRA & Commuter Login. There is also a live chat option on the

website, if you have additional questions!

Motivate Yourself to Move More

You know that moving more is important, but there are times you may not feel up to it. Follow these tips to stay motivated and stick with a

physical activity plan.

1. Choose activities you enjoy. Take a walk in your neighborhood or take a class at the gym after work. The more you enjoy an activity, the more likely you’ll be to stick with it.

2. Find a family member, friend, or coworker to be active with and keep each other motivated.

3. Schedule physical activity and put it on your calendar like any other important meeting or event in your week.

4. Focus on how much better you’ll feel, how much more energy you’ll have, and how glad you’ll be that you did it.

5. Set goals, track your progress, and celebrate your success. Plan a non-food reward for achieving milestones in your fitness journey.
