New Limits on HSA’s & BASIC’s New HSA@AnyBank Service
The IRS has recently issued Revenue Procedure 2017-37, which provides 2018 HSA contribution and coverage limits. For 2017 HSA’s, the limits have changed not just for contributions but for both self and family coverage as well.
HSAs are a great way for employers and employees to control cost while still providing a rich benefits package. HSAs also have their tax benefits:
- Contributions reduce taxable income.
- Account earnings are tax-free and distributions for HSA qualified expenses aren’t taxed.

| Health Savings Accounts | 2018 | 2017 |

| Self-only coverage annual minimum deductible | $1,350 | $1,300 |
