Short answer: Yes, you can add post-tax dollars to an HSA, and the IRS sets annual HSA contribution limits.

Adding post-tax contributions to HSA

Yes, you can add post tax dollars to an HSA (Health Savings Account). When you contribute money to an HSA, it can be done with pre-tax dollars through your employer's plan or with post-tax dollars if you contribute on your own. Adding post-tax dollars to your HSA is a great way to save for medical expenses while still getting tax benefits.

Absolutely! You can indeed add post-tax dollars to your Health Savings Account (HSA). This option allows you to contribute additional funds even if your employer does not provide pre-tax payroll deductions. Using post-tax dollars can still deliver significant tax benefits when it comes to withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.

IRS limits and catch-up contributions

It is important to keep track of your contributions, as the IRS has annual contribution limits for HSAs. For 2021, the limit is $3,600 for individuals and $7,200 for families. If you are 55 or older, you can also make catch-up contributions of up to $1,000.
