A Health Savings Account (HSA) plan requires a high-deductible medical insurance policy, which means that the premiums on the policy will be less than for a low-deductible policy. The contributions to the HSA are deductible for AGI, which reduces the nondeductible amount of itemized deductions subject to certain limitations, and the taxpayer does not have to itemize to obtain the deduction.
