Can both spouses have separate HSAs?

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) have gained popularity as a way for individuals to save for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. But what about couples? Can both spouses have an HSA in 2021? The answer is YES! Both spouses can have their own HSA accounts, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.

Here's what you need to know:

• Each spouse must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to qualify for an HSA.
• Both spouses cannot be covered under a non-HDHP, such as a spouse's traditional health plan, to be eligible for separate HSAs.
• The contribution limits for HSAs in 2021 are $3,600 for individuals and $7,200 for families. Each spouse can contribute up to their respective limit.
• Contributions to HSAs are tax-deductible and grow tax-free, making them a smart way to save for future medical expenses.
