When it comes to deducting contributions to your Health Savings Account (HSA), there are limits that you need to be aware of.

For the tax year 2021, the maximum contribution limit is $3,600 for individuals with self-only coverage and $7,200 for those with family coverage.

If you are 55 or older, you can make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000 per year.

Your contributions are tax-deductible, meaning you can deduct the amount you contribute to your HSA from your taxable income.

However, it's important to note that your total contributions cannot exceed the annual contribution limits set by the IRS.

If you have a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) and meet the eligibility requirements, you can contribute to your HSA on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions.
