Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The $8,750 that TurboTax indicates includes only the $1,000 catch up for the particular individual for which TurboTax is calculating the contribution limit.  The other spouse needs to make their $1,000 catch-up contribution to their own HSA account.  The $7,750 regular family contribution can be divided between the spouses in any way you see fit, but the each spouse must make their own $1,000 catch-up contribution.  If you contribute the full $7,750 family limit to your HSA plus your $1,000 catch-up, your spouse can contribute only the $1,000 catch-up to your spouse's HSA.
