Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A specialized tax calculator tool for NJ residents that inputs W-2 data and HSA contribution types to output the correct NJ-1040 line items
  2. A browser-based guide or decision tree specifically for multi-state workers to reconcile HSA contributions with NJ state tax law
  3. A standardized template for employers to provide supplemental tax statements for employees in states with non-conforming HSA tax laws
