I recently opened up an HSA. I contributed $2000 post-tax dollars to it, then paid a hospital bill in the amount of $1500. I then found out that the hospital bill is not a qualified medical expense because it was incurred before the HSA was opened.
My question is I am not sure what I am supposed to do now or what, if any, consequences to my mistake are. I was thinking of just not listing the contribution or the withdrawal on my taxes next year at all as the contribution was already post-tax and the distribution non-qualified. I am not trying to get a tax benefit, I just screwed up and am not sure what to do.
I tried googling for the answer, but I couldn't find anything about this situation.
Thanks!
