When HSA and FSA can coexist

Many individuals often wonder if they can contribute to both a Health Savings Account (HSA) and a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) simultaneously. The answer is, it depends on the type of FSA you have.

If you have a Healthcare FSA, you are generally not eligible to contribute to an HSA at the same time. This is because Healthcare FSAs are considered disqualifying coverage for HSA eligibility. However, if you have a Limited-Purpose FSA or a Post-Deductible FSA, you can still contribute to an HSA.

HSA limits and penalties when both used

It's important to note that contributing to both accounts can affect your HSA contribution limits. In 2020, the maximum HSA contribution for an individual is $3,550, and for a family, it's $7,100. If you are contributing to both an HSA and an FSA, make sure you stay within the allowed limits to avoid any penalties.

Confirming limited-purpose or post-deductible options

Have you ever wondered if you could juggle both a Health Savings Account (HSA) and a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) at the same time? The good news is, you can in certain circumstances! If your FSA is a Limited-Purpose or Post-Deductible FSA, you can still contribute to your HSA while enjoying the benefits of both accounts.
