Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are fantastic tools for couples to manage medical expenses together while enjoying significant tax advantages. In 2020, the maximum contribution limit for a married couple stands at $7,100, but if one partner is 55 or older, that limit rises to $8,100, allowing you to save more for future healthcare costs.

How spouses can contribute to each HSA

Contributions to an HSA can be made by either or both spouses, as long as the total amount contributed does not exceed the maximum limit. This means that even if one spouse has an HSA through their employer, the other spouse can still contribute to their own HSA account up to the allowed limit.

It's important for couples to consider their joint medical expenses and financial goals when deciding on HSA contributions. By maximizing contributions to an HSA, couples can take advantage of tax deductions, tax-free growth on savings, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses.
