• Tax benefits:

- If both you and your spouse are covered under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), you can each contribute to your own individual HSA accounts.

• For 2021, the annual contribution limit is $3,600 for individuals and $7,200 for families.
• Individuals aged 55 or older can make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution.

Tax benefits and why it helps

- Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free.

By contributing to an HSA, you can save for current and future medical expenses, including those in retirement. It's a smart way to take control of your healthcare costs while maximizing your tax savings.

Wondering if you and your spouse can both contribute to an HSA? You absolutely can, as long as you're both covered by a high-deductible health plan (HDHP)! This gives you the perfect opportunity to maximize your savings for future healthcare expenses.
