Reply to comment by sciguyCO in HSA Rollover to healthequity help! by Ronaldo0720

Those are the options to select to rollover the HSA. I think option 2 makes sense. That means they pull the money from my bank account instead of me actually sending them as option 3 says.

If you didn't write the check, don't assume it can be converted to ACH debit entry. It's safer to deposit the check and have the HSA debit your bank account.

Exactly. It's a bit more preparation you'd have to do now (setting up that link before you can complete the rollover), but that'll keep your bank information on record for future use.

There is one other limitation I forgot to mention. The IRS only allows you to do one indirect HSA rollover every twelve months. So if you happen to need to do another rollover before January 2024, you'd have to make sure that future one is done as a "direct" transfer between the HSA providers. I think that twelve month period is based on the date of the withdrawal from the sending HSA, but I'm not 100% sure.
