Form 1099-SA - Distributions From an Archer or Medicare Advantage MSA
1

Per IRS Form 1099-SA, page 3:

Instructions for Recipient

Distributions from a health savings account (HSA), Archer medical savings account (MSA), or Medicare Advantage (MA) MSA are reported to you on Form 1099-SA. File Form 8853 or Form 8889 with your Form 1040 or 1040-SR to report a distribution from these accounts even if the distribution isn’t taxable. The payer isn’t required to compute the taxable amount of any distribution.

An HSA or Archer MSA distribution isn’t taxable if you used it to pay qualified medical expenses of the account holder or eligible family member or you rolled it over. An HSA may be rolled over to another HSA; an Archer MSA may be rolled over to another Archer MSA or an HSA. An MA MSA isn’t taxable if you used it to pay qualified medical expenses of the account holder only. If you didn’t use the distribution from an HSA, Archer MSA, or MA MSA to pay for qualified medical expenses, or in the case of an HSA or Archer MSA, you didn’t roll it over, you must include the distribution in your income (see Form 8853 or Form 8889). Also, you may owe a penalty.
