HSAs for self-employed healthcare planning

Being self-employed comes with a unique set of challenges, including figuring out the best healthcare options available. One popular choice for self-employed individuals is a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA allows you to save money tax-free for medical expenses, making it a valuable tool for managing healthcare costs.

But how much HSA can you have as a self-employed individual? The answer lies in understanding the contribution limits and eligibility criteria set by the IRS.

As a self-employed individual, you can contribute up to these limits if you meet the following criteria:

• Be covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
• Not be enrolled in Medicare
• Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return
