Question
Can I deduct my Idaho medical savings account contributions?

Answer

IDAHO MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNT CONTRIBUTIONS AND INTEREST

You may contribute up to $10,000 ($20,000 if married filing a joint return) to an Idaho medical savings account and deduct the contribution. Deductible contributions don't include reimbursements that were redeposited into your Idaho medical savings account. Don't include amounts deducted on federal Form 1040.

An Idaho medical savings account is generally established with a bank, savings and loan, or credit union. The account is established to pay eligible medical expenses of the account holder and the account holder's dependents.  Interest earned on the account is included on line 13, but only if included on Form 40, line 7. Add your qualifying contributions to the interest earned on the account. Enter the name of the financial institution and your account number in the spaces provided.
