Is there one HSA account for myself and partner with Florida Blue?

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way to save for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. If you and your partner are both covered under a high-deductible health plan with Florida Blue, you may be wondering if you can have one HSA account for both of you.

Unfortunately, the IRS rules for HSAs state that each individual can only have their own HSA account. This means that you and your partner will need to have separate HSA accounts if you both want to contribute to them.

Having separate HSA accounts can have its advantages, as it allows each of you to track your contributions and medical expenses individually. This can be especially helpful when it comes to tax reporting and making withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.

While you cannot have a joint HSA account with your partner, you can still coordinate your contributions and expenses to maximize your savings potential. Just remember to stay within the IRS contribution limits and use the funds for qualified medical expenses to avoid any tax penalties.

While it’s understandable to wish for a joint Health Savings Account (HSA), the rules set by the IRS maintain that each person must have their own account. This means you and your partner can’t pool your HSA funds together, but there are still benefits to having separate accounts.
