1.031	Health Savings Accounts For federal income tax purposes, the earnings in a Health Savings Account (HSA) accrue on a tax-free basis, and qualified distributions from a HSA are excluded from gross income. Prior to the most recent Code update, Massachusetts taxed earnings in a HSA and also taxed distributions to the extent such amounts were not previously taxed by Massachusetts. As a result of the Code update, Massachusetts adopts the federal exclusion for earnings in, and qualified distributions from, a HSA.
