HSA basics for married couples

Health Savings Account (HSA) is a versatile tool that helps individuals save for medical expenses tax-free. When it comes to contributing to an HSA as a married couple, there are some rules to consider.

Both spouses can contribute to an HSA if:

• They are both covered by a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
• They do not exceed the annual contribution limit set by the IRS

Rules about spouse coverage and limits

Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Contributions can be made by either spouse, regardless of who has the HDHP

Both partners eligible if criteria met
