IRS Issues 2017 Indexed Amounts for HSAs
The HSA contribution limits for 2017 will be the same as the 2016 limits for family HDHP coverage, but will increase by $50 for single HDHP coverage. The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service issued new guidance on the maximum contribution levels for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and out-of-pocket spending and deductible limits for High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) that must be used in conjunction with HSAs. The 2017 limits are set forth in Revenue Procedure 2016-28.These limits have changed only minimally because changes in the Consumer Price Index were very small for the relevant period under the statutory formula.
