Can Spouse Contribute to HSA? Understanding HSA Contribution Rules

If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA) and you’re wondering whether your spouse can also contribute to it, the answer is yes, under certain conditions.

When it comes to HSA contributions, understanding the rules and guidelines is essential to maximize your savings potential. Here's what you need to know:

• Your spouse can contribute to your HSA if they are also covered under a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) along with you.
• If you have a family HDHP, both you and your spouse can contribute to your HSA, up to the annual contribution limit set by the IRS.
• For 2021, the annual contribution limit for individuals is $3,600 and for families is $7,200. If you and your spouse are 55 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 each.
• Keep in mind that contributions to an HSA must be made in cash and cannot exceed the annual limits set by the IRS.

By understanding the rules surrounding HSA contributions and involving your spouse in saving for healthcare expenses, you can take full advantage of the tax benefits and flexibility that an HSA offers.
