The IRS recently released Revenue Procedure 2017-37, which provides information on the limits for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for 2018. The annual contribution limitation on deductions for individuals with self-only coverage under a high deductible health plan will be $3,450. The deduction limitation for an individual with family coverage will be $6,900.

Please note, these limits reflect current law. Under the American Health Care Act (AHCA), passed by the House of Representatives earlier this month, the contribution limit rises to the statutory out-of-pocket maximum  ($6,650/$13,300) beginning in 2018. The AHCA is not yet a law. We will provide modified contribution limits if legislation subsequently changes the current 2018 limits.

Minimum Deductible for HDHP: In order for a health insurance plan to be considered a “High Deductible Health Plan” for 2018, the deductible must be at least $1,350 for self-only coverage and $2,700 for family coverage.

Maximum Out-of-Pocket: Out-of-pocket expenses may not exceed $6,650 for self-only coverage and $13,300 for family coverage.

These changes will go into effect for calendar year 2018.

**Please note that these limits are subject to change.  The American Health Care Act, if passed, includes changes related to Health Savings Account Limits.
