The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued changes to spending limits for health savings accounts (HSA) for 2015.
2015 HSA deductible and contribution limits
The IRS has set up Revenue Procedure 2014-30, which determines the inflation-adjusted contribution, deductible, and out-of-pocket spending limits for HSAs for 2015. The limits are as follows:
- Annual Contribution Limits. Annual contributions to an HSA may not exceed $3,350 for individual coverage (self only) and $6,650 for family coverage. The annual "catch-up" contribution amount for individuals age 55 or older remains at $1,000.
- Annual Minimum Deductibles. The high deductible health plan (HDHP) offered with an HSA must have a minimum deductible of $1,300 for individual coverage (self only) and $2,600 for family coverage.
- Annual Maximum Out-of-Pocket Limits. Out-of-pocket expenses under the HDHP cannot exceed $6,450 for individual coverage (self only) and $12,900 for family coverage.
The chart below shows compared the 2014 and 2015 HSA limits.
