How does HSA affect tax refund?
HSA Tax Advantages
Your contributions may be 100 percent tax-deductible, meaning contributions can be deducted from your gross income. All interest earned in your HSA is 100 percent tax-deferred, meaning the funds grow without being subject to taxes unless they are used for non-eligible medical expenses.
What happens if you don't include HSA on taxes?
In addition to the 20 percent penalty, the IRS will also consider any HSA funds spent on non-qualified expenses as taxable income.

Will my HSA get audited?
HSA reimbursements need matching receipts.

Will I get audited if I forgot a 1099?
Often, you'll receive a normal CP11 notice if you file returns with missing 1099s. But in more severe cases, the IRS might notify you that they want to “examine” you, which means you're getting an audit. The chances of the IRS auditing you are naturally very low if you've only lost a 1099 form.
