State Tax Treatment Of Health Savings Accounts

Health Savings Accounts offer generous deductions on Federal income tax for any deposits made to the account.  Most states also offer the same deductions on state income taxes.  However, since Health Savings Accounts were set up as a federal program, the individual states can choose to comply with the federal guidelines concerning tax treatment of HSAs, or establish their own rules.
