• However, the total contributions to both accounts (individual and spouse) should not exceed the annual contribution limits set by the IRS.
• If both spouses are eligible individuals and have family coverage under an HDHP, the total contribution limit applies to both of them combined.
• Contributions can be made by either spouse and are considered as made by the person who is the account holder.
