You must file Form 1040, ‘US Individual Income Tax Return,’ along with Form 8853, ‘Archer MSA and Long-Term Care Insurance Contracts’ with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for any distributions made from your Medicare MSA account to ensure you aren’t taxed on your MSA account withdrawals. You must file these tax forms for any year in which an MSA account withdrawal is made, even if you have no taxable income or other reason for filing a Form 1040.  MSA account withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are tax-free, while account withdrawals for nonmedical expenses are subject to both income tax and a fifty (50) percent tax penalty.
