My qualified HDHP coverage was effective January 1st, but I didn't establish my HSA until June. Can I still make my maximum annual contribution, or is my contribution reduced by the number of months I didn't have an HSA?

You can still make your maximum annual contribution. Your eligibility to contribute to an HSA is determined by the effective date of your qualified HDHP coverage. Your contribution for any given year depends on your enrollment in HDHP coverage by December 1 of that year and maintaining qualified HDHP coverage for the next 12 full months (13 months total).

If you maintain qualified HDHP coverage for less than 12 full months, the maximum is prorated by the number of full months of coverage.
