According to the IRS you don't need to earn money to contribute to an HSA, and you can get an income deduction even without itemized deductions (1). I'm wondering if retirees have tried this and seen the deduction in their taxes.
(1) IRS: "You can claim a tax deduction for contributions you, or someone other than your employer, make to your HSA even if you do not itemize your deductions on Form 1040."
