Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way for individuals and families to save money for medical expenses while enjoying tax benefits. Contributions to an HSA can be made by an individual, an employer, or both, and the total contribution limit is set each year by the IRS.
For 2021, the maximum that a family can contribute to an HSA is $7,200. This includes contributions made by both the individual and the employer. It's important to note that this limit applies to families, while individuals have a separate contribution limit.
Contributions to an HSA are tax-deductible, meaning you can reduce your taxable income by the amount you contribute to the account. The funds in the HSA can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses, such as doctor's visits, prescription medications, and even some over-the-counter items.
