IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Excess Contributions: You are not permitted to transfer excess contributions from an HSA, Archer MSA or IRA to a Bank of America
HSA. If any portion of your transfer is or becomes an excess contribution, it is your responsibility to notify Bank of America and
request a withdrawal of the excess contribution together with any net income attributable thereto.
Investments: Your HSA will be invested as provided under your HSA arrangement with Bank of America.
One-time transfer from a Roth or Traditional IRA to an HSA: Generally, only one transfer may be made during the lifetime of an
individual. IRA Transfers count toward and are limited to your maximum HSA contribution for the year.
GENERAL INFORMATION
There are two ways to move funds from an existing HSA, Archer MSA or IRA into a new HSA:
1. Trustee-to-Trustee Transfer: In a trustee-to-trustee transfer the current custodian moves funds to the new custodian directly.
There is no limit under the tax laws on the number of times this can occur.
2. Rollover: A Rollover is a cash distribution and redeposit with another custodian within 60 days. Either the customer receives funds
and re-deposits in a new account or writes a check on an old account to a new custodian. The customer is limited to using this
approach once every 12 months. Bank of America provides HSA Rollover forms online at myhealth.bankofamerica.com under the
“Tools & Resources” tab.
