Did you know that a Health Savings Account (HSA) not only helps you save funds for future medical expenses but also provides significant tax advantages? In 2017, the individual contribution limit stood at $3,400, while families were allowed up to $6,750. Not only are these contributions tax-deductible, but they also grow tax-free when used for qualified medical expenses.

How to contribute and catch-up amounts

Contributions to an HSA can be made by the account holder, an employer, or both. Individuals aged 55 and older could also make an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000. This higher contribution limit for older individuals recognizes their potentially higher healthcare costs.

Why contribution limits may change

It's important to note that these contribution limits are subject to change each year, so it's essential to stay updated with the current limits to make the most of your HSA benefits.
