2020 HSA Limits

An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account whose funds can be used to pay qualified health care costs for you, your spouse and your dependents.

The account is a great way to pay for qualified health care costs with pre-tax dollars.

In fact any investment gains on your funds are also tax-free as long as they are used to pay for qualified medical, dental or vision expenses.

Unused funds may be carried over from one year to the next. To qualify for this tax-advantaged account you must be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
