HSA Limits: What’s Changed This Year & What’s Next?

On April 26, 2018, the IRS reverted the 2018 Health Savings Account (HSA) limits back to the originally published amounts released in May of 2017.
 

The current rates are: $3,450 for individuals with self only coverage; and $6,900 for family coverage.
 

After reducing the limits in March of 2018, the IRS reinstated the higher annual limit in April stating, “… It is in the best interest of sound and efficient tax administration to allow taxpayers to treat the $6,900 annual limitation originally published in Rev. Proc. 2017-37 as the 2018 inflation adjusted limitation on HSA contributions for eligible individuals with family coverage under an HDHP.” (Rev. Proc. 2018-27).
