2017 HSA family contribution limits and catch-up

When it comes to contributing to your Health Savings Account (HSA) in 2017 for family coverage, it's important to know the limits set by the IRS to maximize your tax benefits. For the tax year 2017, the maximum contribution allowed for family coverage is $6,750.

It's essential to note that this contribution limit includes both your contributions and any contributions made by your employer. If you are 55 or older, you are also eligible for an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000.

Benefits of contributing to an HSA

Contributing the maximum allowable amount to your HSA can provide you with several benefits, including:

• Tax deductions for contributions made
• Tax-free growth of funds within the account
• Tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses

By contributing to your HSA, you can save for future medical expenses while reducing your taxable income. This can be particularly advantageous for families with high healthcare expenses.

In 2017, understanding the contribution limits for your Health Savings Account (HSA) is crucial if you have family coverage. The IRS set the maximum contribution limit at $6,750. This means that whether you're directly contributing or your employer is making contributions on your behalf, the total cannot exceed this amount.
