How HSA contributions can be deductible

Contributions to a Health Savings Account (HSA) can be tax-deductible if certain conditions are met.

Here are some key points to know about HSA contributions:

  • Contributions made by an individual, their employer, or both are deductible on federal income tax returns.
  • For 2021, the maximum contribution limits are $3,600 for individuals and $7,200 for families.
  • Individuals aged 55 and older can make additional catch-up contributions of $1,000 per year.
  • Contributions are tax-deductible, meaning they reduce the individual's taxable income for the year.

It's important to keep track of your HSA contributions to ensure you stay within the allowable limits and maximize the tax benefits.

What an HSA is and helps

An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account that individuals with qualifying high-deductible health plans can use to save for medical expenses.
