Short answer: Yes, you can still do an IRA to HSA rollover even if your spouse has previously done so, and transfers are allowed once in a lifetime per person.

Spouse already rolled over: can you too?

There might be times when you wonder if you can do an IRA to HSA rollover, especially if your spouse has already done it. The good news is that the answer is yes, you can still do an IRA to HSA rollover even if your spouse has previously done so.

Did you know that even if your spouse has made the leap and done an IRA to HSA rollover, you still have the chance to do it too? That's right!

IRS once-in-lifetime IRA-to-HSA transfers

It's important to note that the IRS allows individuals to make transfers from an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) to an HSA (Health Savings Account) once in their lifetime. This means that each person, including you and your spouse, can make this rollover independently.

So, if your spouse has already completed an IRA to HSA rollover, it does not restrict you from doing the same. You are still eligible to transfer funds from your IRA to your HSA, taking advantage of the tax benefits and saving for your healthcare expenses in a tax-advantaged way.
